scahalane Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Having missed the passing of the weed train through carrigtwohill for the last 4 years, I stumbled across it unexpectedly today while out walking the dog. I only had my mobile with me so I rushed back and caught its return journey at the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Story with the loco change to a 201? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiretrains Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Story with the loco change to a 201? There's no run around facilities in Midleton (and Cobh), so two locomotives are required for the job, one hauls the sprayer into Midleton, the other follows it LE, the LE then couples up to the sprayer in Midleton and returns it to Cork. This was done for the Sperry and the IRRS tour also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scahalane Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 As there's no run around loop at Midleton or Cobh anymore the train has to accompanied by a second loco for the return journey. 217 brought her down to Midleton, followed behind by 086 for the return.
