    An 071 went light engine SB through Goolds Cross this morning and possibly the same one NB about 2 hours later with ballast wagons. Wan't in a position to get number but certainly sounded good!

    Today 082 belted through Killester at 14:30 with the tara empties. What a noise it made. 083 was outside Connolly shed at 14:40 along with 230 and 209 was around back on the turntable siding. Rare to see 3 locos at once in Connolly these days.
