That's gas, when I saw that pic I thought to myself - I was on that, but when I looked at the date it must have been on a previous one possibly 1990s. I certainly haven't been on the branch this century.

RPSI: "The Western Explorer"
Dublin - Athenry - Ennis - Limerick - Dublin
Continuing the theme of celebrating 40 years of the magnificent and iconic 071 class diesel locomotives, this Dublin-based one-day excursion featured diesel haulage on a trip along the Western Rail Corridor.
There were photostops at Monasterevan, Tullamore, Athlone, Attymon and Athenry, Ennis and Limerick.
As usual a big thanks to the IE and RPSI staff who make these tours possible. All proceeds from today's tour will go towards restoring the RPSI Diesel fleet to mainline running.
The next tour is scheduled for Saturday 8th April 2017 and the planned routing is:
Connolly - Portarlington - Athlone - Galway - Kilkdare - Kilkenny - Kildare - Connolly. A tour very much in the mold of the iconic ITG tours which has high mileage and will probably have three different locomotives during the day.
Photos from the tour yesterday are now online at http://smu.gs/2dLLxWt

Some West Clare stuff.
The West Clare carried a good deal of excursion traffic during its lifetime and in this scene 7c is seen departing from Ennis with a heavy train comprising West Clare and ex.Tralee & Dingle stock.
The West Clare was used for filming part of John Ford's 1957 movie "The Rising of the Moon" and 5c 'Slieve Callan' was used but renamed 'Viceroy' for the occasion - see details from Irish Railfans News below. After filming she was sent to Inchicore for scrapping where she is seen above. How 5c came to be preserved I'm not sure but after years plinthed at Ennis she is now to be found operating at the 'new' West Clare Railway at Moyasta Junction.

The last update from my journey to Belfast has now been uploaded and features photos from Yorkgate, Central and Cultra. Also some images from today at Heuston, Carn Bridge, Portlaoise and Ballybrophy.
Click http://smu.gs/2hpYvMP to view all the images.
As an aside, Thursday night turned out to be the last night of the 80 Class Sandite runs as it was cancelled on Friday night. It was good to witness the sights and sounds of these classic trains for a final time. The Sandite season for next year will be in the hands of a MPV.

Good evening folks
I've spent the evening catching up on the photos since last weekend.
The December gallery has images from:
- Limerick
- Ballybrophy
- Newbridge
- Adamstown
- Drumcondra
- Broombridge
- Cabra: 226 on the IWT Liner.
- Heuston: 231 on the 1900 to Cork plus ICR's on the 1935 to Galway.
Click http://smu.gs/2gOOrNn to view.
Also updated is the LUAS Cross City line with a long overdue photographic survey of the route between Broombridge and St. Stephen's Green. Fantastic progress has been made on the entire route with all the track laid in the city centre and a good portion of the route between Broadstone and Broombridge is also laid.
Due to the atrocious weather on this day with heavy rain, several of the photographs aren't to the standard I would aspire to.
