    Some freight and departmental workings filmed in Kildare including 088 heading light engine from Limerick to Inchicore to collect wagons, 226 with the North Wall to Ballina IWT liner, 088 returning to Limerick with two pocket wagons and a tara mines wagon, 224 with the Ballina to North Wall IWT liner, 078 running around in Kildare on the Waterford to Westport empty timber train whilst a health and safety crew tests the coupling and uncoupling of the train and 220 with the second North Wall to Ballina IWT liner.


    Footage of Intercity passenger services at Kildare consisting mostly of 22000 class units of various forms with some Cork services consisting of push pull mk4 coaches pushed and pulled by 201 class locomotives.

    And now for something completely different.

    Missed out on this on eBay tonight and so I had to resort to pinching the pics instead - much cheaper.

    I'm posting this mainly for foggy_lad who hankers for the days when boy porters carried his luggage, doffed their caps and knew their place. :D

    Just a couple of pics here and the rest are on my very rarely updated railway blog http://irishrailways.blogspot.ie/

    30 years ago a band called the Spoons recorded a video in the Toronto subway system. To be seen: 1950s Gloucester steel (red) and aluminium (white) cars, 1960s and 1970s Hawker-Siddeley H-series cars

    Here's a Dublin that's served by BART instead of DART. Train pulling into the terminus in Dublin, California (Condae Alameda), in the middle of Interstate Highway 580. (Actually "Dublin/Pleasanton", since the highway and railway are on the border of the two cities.) Track gauge is 5' 6", actually three inches wider than Irish gauge. Train operation is fully automated, although there is a human driver in the cab in case the robot driver's software crashes.

    I think the railbus went to Kingscourt in 1990.
    There was a special from Navan to Connolly in 1996 for the final (Meath vs Mayo) if memory serves me right. Not sure if it ran on both days (there was a reply).
    There was an 80 class to Navan in 1988 (86 or 68 I think). Run by the GSRPS (again...as far as I recal).

    Looking at the video really brings it back to me as to how daft it was not to reopen the line for passengers. Upgraded Navan would have been 'only an hour from Dublin' as the Ad used to go - instead we have Dempsey's railway to a field in Meath. :rolleyes:

    I had several trips in it and while it was very nippy, it was essentially a bus on rails with all the consequent drawbacks - noise in particular. Still and all it, or something like it, would be ideal on the Waterford/Rosslare or Nenagh/Limerick services....

    the railway should never have been stolen from the people of navan in the first place, same with the main part of west cork and the harcourt street line, one day the line will be given back to the people of navan and the trains will return

    Three VIA Renaissance trains (originally Nightstar, so they're Mark 4s) at Drummond, Quebec in December of 2009. Low-platform boarding shown, featuring the rather odd pop-out steps. Third train is so long that it had to stop twice at the platform; it also features a Budd dome/observation car.

    According to the Canadian Rail wiki, not all of the cars were converted to have AAR couplers; only a few do, and these are called "transition" cars. The rest retain European couplers.

    Aside from Ireland not having passenger trains anywhere near as long as that Canadian one (although short platforms at certain stations are not out of the ordinary), the main thing that would impede walking towards forward or rearward cars to exit the train is full-width cabs (such as on certain DMUs and EMUs) being in the way.

    In Oakland, California, the Jack London Square tramway was not the only one (i.e. not for local trams or interurbans that used to cross the Oakland Bay Bridge like the East Bay Electric/Southern Pacific and Key Line interurban trams). Western Pacific used to have its own tramway on Third Street. This pic is of the California Zephyr, from 2 August 1968; boarding and alighting was on the street like with trams.
    1889.1392486349.jpg

    The tramway remained until some time into the 1990s (around 1996 IINM); this vid is of a National Railway Historical Society train operated by Union Pacific (date is 23/07/1992), featuring 4-6-6-4 #3985. (The Western Pacific station building survives, with no tracks on Third Street now.)

    Imagine if IE would run the Wexford tramway this quick? Would chop a few minutes out of Rosslare rotations! South Shore Line, Michigan City, Indiana.

    Speaking of "chopping", isn't the line to Rosslare one of the ones that IE has considered giving the chop of late?

    That'll render it useless and impractical. Make Enniscorthy, Wexford Town and Rosslare utterly dependent on the roadways and leave no rail option; contribute to further downgrading the "Europort".

    But then again, this is the same kind of thinking out of people that wanted to de-electrify Bray-Greystones not too long after electrifying it.

    Videos people, not moaning.

    Incidentally the SSL and Metra Electric trains are DART spec - 1500VDC. I don't think anywhere else in the US has that scheme at the moment, with the east coast systems being AC overhead and DC third rail. In Chicago proper there is some urban 3rd rail.

    There is a upcoming programme on RTE1 that may be of interest to some. Tuesday July 8th at 7pm called Building Ireland.
    The first episode features the West Cork Railway. It will mainly focus on the engineering feats of Goggins Hill Tunnel and Chetwynd Viaduct.
