Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to visit the fledging Commemara Railway in Maam Cross in Co.Galway.
At the moment a "popup" narrow gauge railway has been laid on the site to showcase what is to come. Plans are in place to replace this with 5ft 3in track later this year or in 2022.

Last Friday, the Disney movie Disenchanted, which is on location filming in Ireland at the moment rolled into Dundalk Station for the shooting of a railway station scene. Iarnrod Eireann supplied 4ICR 22015 which was in Connolly Valeting Plant undergoing refurbishment and was scheduled to be finished in time for the shoot on Friday 28th May.
After prepping the train at Connolly the set was transferred to Dundalk on Thursday afternoon for the filming on Friday, which took most of the day to complete with actor Patrick Dempsey plus extras in attendance. Dundalk Station was redressed as the fictional Monroeville Station in New York.

Latest update:
Tuesday 8th June 2021:
Pictures from various locations between Clonnydonnin and Athlone, the main highlight being the IWT Liner which is shortly to
"be suspended until further notice" due to Dublin Port Company refusing permission for the train to operate into the Common User Container terminal due to congestion issues. It is estimated that the suspension will add 120+ trucks each week to the Dublin - Ballina road. The final liner is scheduled to operate on Thursday 10th June.

Shame about the Iwt situation, all the more surprising when we have a green transport minister.
At least the E class in Dunsandle looks well, in spite of being out in the open.0 -

As I wasn't able to get out today for the final (in its current form) IWT Liner, I made an effort to get out yesterday for the penultimate IWT Liner from Dublin Port to Ballina and managed to picture it at Cloncoher, Co. Offaly between Geashill and Tullamore.
Plans to get the last up working from Ballina to Dublin were scuppered by other issues cropping up sadly.

A slightly different photo
Does anyone know what is this?
It's on the wall of an under bridge.
There seems to be 2 set of numbers/letters.
The whiter one looks like A-10-32
The bigger brown one looks like 12.8 and underneath P.7.55
It's not graffiti.0 -

Afternoon folks,
Last weekend I was in Maam Cross at the Connemara Railway project to volunteer for the day. A lot of work was completed in advance of some of the site being used for overspill car parking for the adjacent mart on the Sunday. While I didn't get a chance to take any photos on the Saturday (a first?!), I managed to grab some photos and a video on the Sunday morning.
