201bhoy Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Couple of pics from ballina on the 29th where all was quiet. 219 and 077 were sitting dead at the head of two empty rakes of flats, a rake of empty pocket wagons in the crossmolina siding, and a 2800 with the Manulla shuttle. Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Ballina seems to be about the only place left worth train spotting! Quote
gm171 kk Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Great pics 201bhoy! Were 077 and 219 the only locos in Ballina and were the DFDS flats there? Edited January 2, 2014 by gm171 kk Quote
201bhoy Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Great pics 201bhoy! Were 077 and 219 the only locos in Ballina and were the DFDS flats there? Yes, unless the loco was at the other end of the pockets, close to the Belmullet Road in the Crossmolina siding, which I'd doubt, never saw a loco there. And by the DFDS flats do you mean the pockets? I thought the pockets were used of the DFDS and the flats were used on the IWT? Quote
gm171 kk Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 There is one rake of 18 flats and one rake of 12 pockets used on the DFDS liners. The reason I ask if the flats were there is because I hope to get video of the ex Ballina DFDS tomorrow which is always made up of the flats. I haven't yet filmed 219 or 077 so it would be great if I could catch both of these tomorrow on the ex Ballina IWT and DFDS liners. The DFDS and Timber trains may not run tomorrow though because of the land slides in Thomastown and Waterford. Quote

Well there two were rakes of flats and then one rake of pockets in the crossmolina siding. So hopefully one of the rakes of flats were for the DFDS Quote
