1:38 that 2750 bi-car unit sounds a bit like an icr

DART 8200 spotted

By God she was qwear dirty. Some workhorse all the same 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪💪💪💪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

A great video with excellent sounds, memories of the turntable in Sligo!!! Thanks.

Nice audrey!

Audrey!

James and the coaches ahh consist 😂

She used to also run on the Harcourt Street line back in the glory days of steam.

Idly watching videos of the Irish diesel locomotives of my youth for no particular reason, then suddenly realise I am watching this one precisely 30 years after some of it was filmed, 26 February 2024. Wow!

The old mullingar trains I remember them well

Who can say there's no market for rail freight in Ireland! The market share was about 10% then. Can you imagine what 25-30% would look like?

That's when Irish rail had a proper freight service. Maybe now as they are rebuilding the freight business you might see cement trains running again when the I facture is in place around the country. Great shots all right.

Fab, great to see RB3 running 🙂

Dser is her home turf she was a regular on Harcourt street line with her sister 462

It can't be a coincidence to have "James" and "Edward" doubleheading IRL.

Looks like a farburn tank or Ivatt 2mt

Love the 121 and 071 lovely sound off them

Irish steam has a massive charm to it imo

The wood burning can used for steam train if coal was little

Do the lids of the wagons have to lifted off when filling

It's lovely to see Dunleer station while still substantially intact. It had been reopened for one or two trains each way per day, for a couple of years when Padraig Faulkner, a local TD, was minister for transport, but then closed again. The two storey building is now the public library. Filming the procedure for switching out the signal cabin, was a great service to railway history. Cabins were switched out up and down the country, for a century or more. At first I thought it was a breach of privacy to show the signalman getting into his car, but it also is historical. A generation earlier, the signalman would have gone on his bike and a century earlier he only had shanks mare, bikes only being afforded by the wealthier until the first world war.

I enjoyed that, thank you.

3:42 listen to that thrash!

Rare Irish Locomotion footage from 30 years ago ❤️

Delightful rural Irish branch line with a thriving community spirit. Wagonload pick up freight. The steam genny van on the passenger train to convey newspapers and parcels. Great atmosphere in a beautiful countryside setting. Some nice railway architecture from historic station buildings built from local stone to signalboxes, lower quadrant semaphore signals to single line tokens, to lovely class 141 diesels and steam heating. Irish Rail before kartism (modern plastic DMUs) was a sheer joy to behold, even in torrential rain.

Fab sounding Irish locomotion ❤️

Operating a train in a flood ,Brave move by the company ❤️Fab video .Love that classic thrash almost sounding like a class 52 Western .I would have been just 19 going on 20 in 1993.Hard to believe this would have been 29 going on 30 years ago when this was filmed 🎬🎥

Nice video ,Prefer these trains to the 21st century stuff that operates nowadays.

Great video ,A sight never to be repeated again ❤️Was only 23 going on 24 in 1997 when this was filmed ,I suspect Video cameras were Chunky things before memory cards came out in the 21st century,Wow where does the time go?Great video footage .

2:10 cool

Aaah that nice shot re Ardgillan is from The Ladies Stairs, between Skerries (my old home town) and Balbriggan! Best...

1993 now 30 years ago.unreal

Great video ,pitty you didn't capture the line leaving limerick and crossing the Shannon on the metal bridge in the city would have been lovely to see

Super video! Nice shot! MEGA LIKE

Why is the train angry?

From sandymount when the amber shows it sounds familiar to Roblox

Shame 😢that the dismantling and closures on Ireland’s railways were less merciful than that in Britain. I’m more of a steam fan, but I like the colors of these diesels. 👍

01:04 is that a Dutch van converted into a Mkiii genny?

Joseph and today TV 😀

The GNR(I) or RPSI 171 kinda resembles Edward if you remember Thomas and freinds

The blue NIR livery on the GM Class 111 diesels was excellent as this film of 112 shows. Today NIR only has locos in Enterprise livery. The Navan line remains in good condition and the classic GNR station at Navan (fortunately now protected as a historic building) seems ready to see passenger services restored. You can see its architectural style at the end of the film, on the right, at 2:17.

The A class in full flight makes a great noise 👍

I think itg made a mistake by not getting rolling stock. They also made a few mistakes while with Irish rail. Ie driving there own locos in Inchicore when there not really supposed to. Think this may of contributed to them been kicked out of Inchicore.

The people with brains closed the turntable at Sligo . B

Never seen trains with navigation lights red/green what’s the idea there? Thought it was just red or white

Oh my goodness. Didn’t realise they had trains in Ireland. How quaint.

How did they couple the DART's driving unit with the 071 loco? Is there some adapter from the hook type on the 071 to the Scharfenberg coupler on the DART, or is that part of the coupler design already?
