gph2000 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Recently my brother in law spotted a preserved engine near Claregalway when headed back east. I had heard of it before but for the life of me I cant recall the details. Anyone know? Ger
0 gph2000 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 He called it steam, but it could just as easily have been a single cab diesel! Is there anything hanging around Tuam since the Westrail days?
0 purple Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 What is the E class I always see at junction 16 (I think) on the M6? Is that Dunsandle?
0 Weshty Posted July 1, 2013 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

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.
