Found a great wee piece here on Irish Railways 1992. Belfast in particular is covered quite a bit, which is quite rare around those times maybe given the situation. Some great pics from Adelaide freight yard, all of which is now gone! Anyone know what is hiding between the cement silo in the picture taken from the top of Adelaide crane? Is it a hunslet?

Great find 201, looks very much like at Hunslet at the Cement Silo.

Definitely a Hunslet.

Hunslet's favourite hiding place,behind the silos! The Hunslet would idle there for hours doing nothing,while the CIE loco's would marshal their own return workings

They got quite the royal treatment. Nothing like engineering professional courtesy !

Very good article. I found the stats about the brake shoes of the DARTs interesting and the fact that in 1992 Northwall was dealing with up 14-15 out going liners per day. How times have changed. Makes me wish I was born about decade earlier.

I know! And to think that there's one daily liner each way from there, and that's a significant improvement from 3/4 years ago! And no freight at all up here in the North
