O72 dfds liner Waterford

[Riversuir226]

For a change i followed the liner from New Rath to Abbey junction on foot starting at the usual

Beat the rake as it was held for an ICR so got a few in before O72 arrived major changes have occured since the closure of the Rosslare line and even more so since the heady days of rail been delivered here in the late 9Os

O72 arrived with a full load of containers just before i got back to the Ferrybank dual carriage way but i caught the load snaking its way along the quayside

O74 was in the yard so it would be rude not to record her as well!!!

How is the yard area for night shots?

Not to bad depending on whether the floodlights are on or not. Lately the locos and rakes of wagons are kept nearer to the river so good pics would be much harder to get as the mark 3 coaches are between you and the wagons.

Tom I was just actually thinking that now would be a good time to get permission and photograph those MK111's before they are gone. Especially the doors on the standards, and the window arrangement on both sides of the restaurant coaches. Hopefully there will be a 201 over there to get some close up shots of the air filters, their pipe runs, and some fuel tank shots.

 

Rich,

I didn't realise quite how much the track layout had been rationalised - thanks for the photos.
