COMMUTER29000 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Sorry Noel I am not sure of the reason why only 1 container is loaded per flat wagon. --- Irish Rail 071 loco 074 + relay train passes Rush & Lusk Date: 27 February 2015 Service: 13.43 North Wall to Platin [video=youtube_share;vzsslEs7VuQ] Quote
hurricanemk1c Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Noel - the wagons can hold either 2x 20ft, 1x 30ft, 1x 40ft or 1x 45ft. The tanktainers are generally 30-35ft long, meaning only one per wagon. Quote

Thanks. That makes sense. The track in the video looking after the relay train has passed seems to be severely buckled. Yes I noticed that too. IE's Lada approach to infrastructure management. Buy lots of shiny new trains, scraping stock still with 15 years shelf life remaining, retiring many 18yo 201s, instead of upgrading the networks track work to better quality and higher speeds. Quote
hurricanemk1c Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Just an optical ollusion due to the zoom. Well known effect. Regards stored 201's - they have non-standard bearings and various other fittings that make them more expensive than even the 071's (spares pool from 30-40 years of use, plus the Baby GM's) Quote

Noel Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Having watched your clip, I found this on youTube Look at about 4m15s into the video the 201 runs over opposed check points that are open and forces them closed! Is this normal a normal op? [video=youtube;-6m-L-X7vDc] Also at 6mins into clip she runs back through a red signal with a small semaphore square not set at danger!!! Is the semaphore shape a shunting signal that overrides the main light? Edited June 19, 2015 by Noel Quote

Also at 6mins into clip she runs back through a red light with a small semaphore square not set at danger!!! Regarding the catch points, these are sprung and their purpose is to derail a runaway travelling in the opposite direction only. With double line working, trains run along the left-hand track in the direction of travel and so there's a greater danger posed by a runaway travelling in the opposite direction than there is by one travelling 'the right way'.

Thanks. I just had never seen trap/catch points run over on a main line like that before. They must be fairly heavily engineered to have an entire liner train spring them back and forth as each bogie passes over. Quote
Junctionmad Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) The terms are not actually interchangeable by the way These are catch points. Catch points tend to be exclusive to running lines and are sprung to allow a train in the trailing direction to push the blades over. They used to commonly found at the base of inclines to prevent runaways from re entering a station or junction. They are not under the control of a signal centre. Trap points are or used to be far more common And are/were used to prevent trains from inadvertently accessing running lines when they were not signalled to do so. They are controlled by point rodding and under the control pf a signalling centre. Typcally the were facing points and diverted the train off the track completely or into a sand drag. ( there one like that at limerick junction ) The use of a semaphore ground signal mounted on a colour light is unusual , must be a transistuon thing or some holdover from the power operated Hueston box maybe , shunt signals are alway passed " at caution" , ie slowly typically 5 mph Edited June 19, 2015 by Junctionmad Quote
