Apologies for poor quality of the images, two shots of the 071 class hauling the craven set back through Wicklow this evening. This location is in the Wicklow - Rathdrum section on the outskirts of Wicklow Town.

Question on this tour.

 

Seen the times on Boards.ie

 

Any one know why it changes to a Diesel for the leg from Mallow to Cork tomorrow evening return leg back to Cork from Killarny

 

The Diesel then hauls it on Sunday from Cork to Mallow on Sunday and then it changes back to Steam?

 

any ideas?

Heard from the Lads it was due to the Steam being allowed to only take 5 coaches out of Cork.They had to drop a coach for the Steam to take the train out of Cork on the Saturday.

 

Some great sights and sounds to be had over the weekend.

This picture was taken by my father-in-law at the viaduct in Headford Co.Kerry between Rathmore and Killarney stations last Saturday 18th
