    Thanks losty I thought as much but it seems a bit hit and miss the bulk of trains signal before passing Sallins but some just sail through without warning or maybe they signal too far down the track to be heard at the station.
    It seems to be mostly freight that don't do it do I might be bias as that's what I'm watching for.

    081 just passed Sallins for Dublin with a single wagon possibly spoil.

    081 is back at Sallins in the loop with a couple of timber wagons presumably for Portlaoise?

    I'll keep it up so. I'd post some pics but my view of the line is somewhat obscured by trees and the fact I'm supposed to be in work doesn't help either!

    There was a return wagon transfer train today between Limerick and Inchicore; that was the timber wagon movement you saw. There is also track renewal in the Portarlington area this weekend so the muck trains will be plentiful over the coming days down that way.
    Where is spoil treated / disposed of?

    An 071 class just ran light through Sallins for Dublin. Possibly 074.

    Trainspotting compounded by posting on boards!

    Unidentified 071 in black and tan on the weedsprayer at the Phoenix park tunnel this evening.

    That will operate Dublin-Waterford-Rosslare-Gorey on Wednesday and onto Dublin on Thursday.

    That's the famous 084, it's colour actually ID's the loco.

    Love to get some snaps of it on the Howth Branch with the train. Don't think I'll get the chance though.

    Does anyone know when the weedsprayer will be travelling Waterford to Dublin/Cherryville? I want to try to catch it somewhere in Kilkenny if I can.

    CMS = Claremorris I presume.

    084 worked the weedspray from the Bray direction passing Blackrock at 1340 today. Caught me completely unawares, no pic :(
