Evening all,

I've added some shots of the RPSI steam spl which operated on Saturday 3 March between Dublin Pearse and Maynooth.

Also added some shots from Limerick, Ballybrophy, Portlaoise & Limerick Junction from Monday, 5 March after travelling on the new 0515 InterCity service from Limerick to Heuston via Nenagh. This is the first direct service via Nenagh since the 1980's.

Morning all,

I took a trip along the Killonan Jct - Ballybrophy line yesterday, some photos here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/finnyus/

Locations include:
- Lisnagry LC
- Birdhill (ICRs crossing)
- Kilmastulla Siding
- Cappadine
- Nenagh
- Roscrea

For the month of July, the Nenagh line has a return working from Heuston, Tuesday - Thursday, as the 1340 Heuston - Limerick is diverted via Nenagh due to bridge works at Oola (between Dromkeen and Limerick Jct). Instead of the normally booked 27 or 28, an ICR operated the 1605 Limerick - Ballybrophy and 1815 return.

Evening all,

Today marked the East Cork portion of the 2013 weedsprayer campaign. GM 083 was stabled over the weekend in Mallow and today operated the train to Cobh. GM 218 is currently the standby loco in Cork and with the lack of run-round facilities at Cobh, hauled the train from Cobh to Midleton via Cork with 083 taking over again at Midleton to haul the train back to Mallow.

Photos can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/finnyus/
