Railer Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Freight on the Cork line! When did that happen? Every day of the week except Sundays, for years now. How else can they get from Mayo to Dublin and Waterford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Freight on the Cork line! When did that happen? Thought freight only ran at night on main intercity routes after pax services finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thought freight only ran at night on main intercity routes after pax services finished. Nope. Freight runs during the day but no freight goes south of Portarlington. Bizarre a freight train is blocking up around Ballybrophy. Must be a permanent way working.

Junctionmad Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Thought freight only ran at night on main intercity routes after pax services finished. Not at all, little freight in the 80- 2005 block freight trains ran late into the wee hours , you could stand, say at Limerick Junction and watch all sorts of freight flows passing during the day. In fact, I think due to rostering, very little ran in the late night hours, certainly looking at various WTTs anyway. Give the historical realtively low passanger train frequency , it's easy enough to find day light paths for freight operations. Today it's trivial Dave Edited January 8, 2016 by Junctionmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Yard Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Every day of the week except Sundays, for years now. How else can they get from Mayo to Dublin and Waterford. Sense of humour! This happened in Ballybrophy which is a long way from Cherryville or Portarlington where the Waterford and Mayo lines diverge. Assume this was a PW working as this section of the Cork line hasn't seen Freight since 2005/06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
