Afternoon all,

The last update for 2013 features some photos from the Killarney area over the Christmas period, plus a batch of photos from this afternoon at Portlaoise Station for the landslide victims 22019 + 22054 and Carn Bridge between Portarlington and Portlaoise for the 1320 Portlaoise - Heuston & 1300 Heuston - Cork. In reference to the landslide, this mornings 0605 Waterford - Heuston struck a landslide north of Thomastown Station. Passengers were taxied to their destination. The train later ran empty to Laois Train Care Depot for repairs. The photos are now online at http://smu.gs/1hSuT1p

Also, the 2013 Year in Review is now available for viewing at http://smu.gs/1eTpXvj
It containes a selection of photos from the past 12 months on the railways of Ireland.
Compared to previous years that I have done a year in review, 2013 has turned out to be a bumper year with over 300 images included in this special gallery.

Happy New Year!
The Wanderer.

Thankfully the landslide wasn't as bad as it could of being, they will have there work cut out to stop further ones and with more rain on the way it won't help them.

more sabotage of the railway by irish rail, how these shower can get away with such destruction is beyond me, this is an intercity route, yet it may as well be an engineers siding
