    Got to thinking that once this forum gets going properly that people will naturally want to post pics of trips they've taken,whether they be Heritage or otherwise. In Aviation and Aircraft there's a 'Aviation & Aircraft Photo Gallery' thread that's stickied which is a repository for pictures,saves loads of individual threads which invariably slide down the pages and become hard to find.

    Might be a good idea for Train & Rail systems. It's up to Chris & Victor obviously but just thought i'd throw it out there.:)

    Last years Diesel Do' Railtour. Organised by the RPSI,it was the debut outing of the recently preserved 141 class Loco's which were repainted into their original liveries and numbered B141 & B142. Tour ran from Connolly to Longford on a chilly February day.

    Took this last November on the first day of the snow. It must have been doing a test run of the line.

    Last year i decided to take a spin out to Moate station on the Mullingar-Athlone line. Having a peculiar fascination for disused stations and lines i'd been meaning to photograph this station for a long time. There's something both eerie and enthralling about standing on a platform of a station that hasn't seen a train depart in many years.

    Does anybody know any schedules for the weed spraying train or even just general cargo trains on the Dublin to Waterford line? I know of 2 cargo trains but they're either too early or too late for me to get a picture of them.

    Great pics! :D The IRN website (http://www.irishrailwaynews.com/) has a lot of info on it, and times of freight trains on the various 'loco watch' threads, although methinks we will catch up fast. ;)

    Last years RPSI South Wexford Railtour. I went up the day before to catch the positioning movement from Whitehead to Connolly at Carrickfergus. Good day out with GM 8113 doing the honours. The following days tour ran from Connolly to Rosslare Strand,quick runaround of the loco and on to Waterford via the now closed south wexford line calling at all stations enroute. Then it was a fast run home including a spin through the Lavistown Curve and a brief stop at Athy and Hazelhatch for pathing reasons. 081 done the honours.

    This stopped at Greystones to meet the incoming DART and pass it last Tuesday (2-8-11) at 11.10 or so. Anyone care to enlighten me as to what it was?
