0 Weshty Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 E428 is at Dunsandle (exit 16) http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20D/Dunsandle/slides/Dunsandle_20080327_014_CC_JA.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything hanging around Tuam since the Westrail days? No, unless the steam crane is still there? 90 is up north, the E is at Dunsandle and the tuam sugar factory shunter would have been scrapped after local morons burnt the shed it was in down.
