Rail Scene Ireland on SmugMug

Csalem · 30th March 2011, 15:53

Hi all,
After testing for just over a week, Rail Scene Ireland has gone live on SmugMug too. However this is a fresh start commencing with this month. Highlights include 085 on a ballast on the 11th March as well as a number of other 071s on Taras, including yesterday's double header of 073 and 084.
Pictures for March are here:

Hi all,
Second trip of the year to Kildare today. Was a great trip for freight with 071 on the DFDS liner, 076 on the DFDS liner, 083 on the empty timber, 215 on the IWT liner, 217 on the CPW liner and in amongst all that 075 came up from Limerick with a Tara wagon and wheel-carrier and returned with a bogie flat and wheel-carrier. Also in the mix are the usual 22000 DMUs and 201s on Mark 4 sets.

Hi all,
Some shots from the last week are now online starting on the page below. However the highlights are on the second page where today 088 on a PWD passed 082 on the Tara in Balbriggan. Of course, as it happened a black cloud crossed over the sun. But I suppose, c'est la vie!

Pictures start with this one:

There are some very nice pictures in here! I rather like the shot of the 22033 on it's way to Dublin Heuston.

Csalem · 8th April 2011, 17:47

I like to throw in the occasional oddity!

Went to Kildare today for the April visit. Highlights include 071, 072, 086 and 215 on liners, 075 on an empty panel train and orange 084 on the empty timber. Also included the usual mix of DMUs and Mark 4 sets. Pictures here:

No more topedo boats?

Csalem · 11th April 2011, 08:52

Sadly no, but a number of army helicopters did fly over as the army base is nearby on the Curragh. Didn't want to risk a shot less they respond in kind.

Didn't want to risk a shot, in case they shot back!

Hi all,
Some shots taken near Adamstown in Dublin today are now online. Highlights include 088 on an empty ballast and 079 with the weedsprayer, marking the start of the 2011 spraying of the network. Shots are on this page:

Hi all,
Two updates today.

College work saw me pop over to Cambridge yesterday. Managed a few train shots including 379 010 and 011. Those pictures here:
http://transportsceneireland.smugmug...316428_KSJk75Q

Then having some sterling in my pocket and realising I won't make the IRRS trip in May I popped up North for (possibly) one last trip on the 80 class, and to get some shots of the 450s before the C4k sweep away all in their path. Shots from today's trip are here:

Hi all,
Working of the year today? 086 brought Mark 3 push/pull control car 6105 and five other Mark 3s from Dublin Heuston to the yard in North Wall. It was one of a number of movements but I only caught the first working. Pictures of it in Drumcondra, along with usual 29000 DMUs and 088 on an empty ballast can be found here:

Hi all,
Travelled south yesterday to Cork to follow the weedsprayer as it toured the branches. Due to the nature of the lines no run-round facilities are present, so it requires a light loco to follow the train and to bring it back to Cork. Pictures from the day also include 2600 class DMUs which were first railcars in the modern era to arrive in Dublin seventeen years ago and which all moved south a few years ago. Locations include Rushbrooke and Carrigaloe on the scenic Cobh line as well as Midleton and Tivolli.

Also includes a shot of a vessel of the Irish Naval Service.

Hi all,
Something a bit different, and historical, today. In 1959 the five mile Hill of Howth tramway was closed. Most of the route today survives as either a footpath or a road. I decided to walk to former route today and the photographic study of it can be found here:

Hi all,
The second part of last weeks trip is now online and features shots taken on Wednesday evening and Thursday. Locations include Munich, Augsburg, Kempten, Memmingen and Ulm and feature a variety of traction and trains but predominantly has 218s.

However my favourite catch has to be this 225 loading up an army train at Kempten:

Hi all,
Bit of a non-railway update though a Luas tram does make an appearance. Instead today's update has the theme of 'visitors'. First up is a quick shot taken last night of Air Force One flying over Balbriggan after taking off from Dublin Airport on its way to London. Sadly the light was fading at the time, but it is still a bit of history:
http://transportsceneireland.smugmug...9_zBcS8QB-L-LB

Next up are some shots from Dublin Port early this morning. Last week we had Queen Elizabeth II in Ireland, but today saw the arrival of the Cunarder Queen Victoria on a cruise from Southampton. This evening she departs Dublin for Cobh on the south coast. Pictures are here:

Hi all,
The three damaged intermediates from Rotem set 22037 (22 437, 22 537, 22 637) returned to Ireland from Springburn in Glasgow yesterday. As they were due into Inchicore Works in Dublin after midnight last night they spent the afternoon in the Lusk M1 Service Station. Some shots can be found here:

Hi all,
Some unusual movements today. DART EMU set 8331 and one other were dragged to the DMU depot in Drogheda this morning. Then at lunchtime ICR 22030 worked empty from Drogheda to Dublin, this possibly being only the seventh 22000 to visit the Northern Line. Other shots from today include the usual mix of DMUs and the Enterprise. Pictures start below:
