Was that some IE employee trespassing on the railway with his girlfriend and mates?

Agreed, was up there latly to meet someone, went a bit early to enjoy myself, what boredom, depressing is the only way to describe it. Wall to wall effing railcars.

Part 3 and 4 of the RPSI trip to Cork in 1985 from this user. The amount of 'on track' photographers and spectators is amazing.

Happy times at Mallow, JD might even remember this scene?

Certainly do remember it well. Not a high viz vest in sight - those were certainly the days! Driver Mick McGuinness, who features at Mallow, drove the weedspray trains after the late lamented Paddy Neville went to the great marshalling yard in the sky. And poor old diner 2409 in the bay platform - I've probably shaved with it since!

Nah, they date from when it was proposed to convert Dublin/Belfast to 15 inch gauge.

Further to my earlier post about the new train being trialled in Norway, things went "off the rails" in the latest test this morning.

Five employees injured, one seriously but no fatalities. It has only happened this morning so no news on how it happened. The train was doing around 100km/h when the derailing occurred.
