Indeed excellent shots. I had the privilege of standing on the road bridge in Balbriggan in the rain waiting for the Mk.3 transfer only for it not to appear and then had to run to get my train into work. Thought of going to Tara Street to see it but then decided Balbriggan would have been a much better location. Mad

You may be lucky next week! Cool

On Saturday the 0700 Westport - Heuston was delayed in Westport before departure so 2608 + 2607 which were due to be transferred from Ballina to Drogheda were used in passenger service from Ballina through to Heuston in the path of the 0700 Westport - Heuston from Manulla Junction. Has to be one of the DMU workings of the year! Also seen in Portarlington on Saturday was Enterprise loco 233 working the 1050 Galway - Heuston.

Also slighty off topic but I have several pictures uploaded from a visit to New York. Included are several pictures of the Subway and New York Transit Museum, including an outing by a preserved subway train dating from the 1920's.
