Just read over on IRN 081 went to replace 079 after she got into difficulty in Athlone on the Waterford timber this evening.

074 just ran light engine through Sallins for Newbridge

073 worked a DP bound IWT passing Sallins in the past few minutes

Tuesday 04 02 2014.

080 in the Navan branch at Drogheda.
075 noted at Gormanston with the laden tara mines, it was later looped in to platform 3 at Clongriffin to let the 15:20 Dublin to Belfast Central to pass.

Something wrong with the Flicker account, I hope this works.

First time seeing that loop used. I remember that they had to hold off plans trying to commission the points during 2012 as they had to close the line for a weekend and there was public outcry blades were removed and later refitted again.. They must have got it done at the end of last year with the north side signaling upgrade.

jhnn

Thats correct Captain Chaos last November's bank holiday they removed the the buffer stop at the Malahide end reinstalled the point blades, I live nearby and I never seen a train on it before....J.

073 is Newbridge bound in the loop at Sallins with a couple of CPW's I'm wondering was it her and not 074 I spotted earlier

073 went on to Waterford (took the timber slot) followed what may of being 078 with a timber 30 minutes lather, while I think 072 on an empty timber this morning.

Well reading your post yesterday, it couldn't have been 073 up rd as 073 worked the IWT exBallina yesterday and probably stabled in Inchicore overnight, replacing 074 on the return journey, so it probably was 074 you saw.
BTW the CPWs wagon transfer working Limerick / Waterford always work via Dublin as the Limerick Junction / Waterford line ain't passed for CPWs.

I was distracted with work of all things when she passed so it was more than likely 073 alright. There's been so many break downs and loco swops and the last few days it's hard to keep track!

085 just ran light engine for Dublin through Sallins

074 worked a Ballina bound IWT this morning

Captain Chaos

It was still at Connolly shed at 7:30 this morning so must have slipped down to the yard shortly after for the liner run.

n0brain3r

One of the guys on IRN posted a video of her working it

082 is Newbridge bound in the loop a Sallins on a HOBS train

077 starting to get a bit scruffy, the livery weathers well I think. It's hard to believe that it's 10 months in traffic in the new livery, feels like yesterday that the grey 071s started roaming around.

n0brain3r

080 ran light through Sallins for Newbridge an few minutes ago.

n0brain3r

078 just ran light through Sallins for Dublin

n0brain3r

An 071 (I think the UIC ended -1) in grey livery just pulled into the loop Dublin bound at Sallins on what I think is a track train. There where sections of prefabricated track and a yellow track machine bearing no's 776 778

n0brain3r

074 worked a DP bound IWT passing Sallins in the past few minutes the rail train is still holding in the loop

n0brain3r

078 just ran LE through Sallins for Newbridge

n0brain3r

073 LE towards Dublin great day for 071 traffic

Donelli gantry relay train, 0117084 was taken off at Inchicore and replaced by 075, photo below.

Captain Chaos

That's the first I heard of 084 since it failed on the IWT liner. It went into hiding after that.

n0brain3r

Which begs the question anyone know why was she swopped out again? The train stood for at least an hour in the loop at Sallins too.

078 was swapped out for 080 yesterday on a liner so it just seems like a regular thing lately.

Friday 14 - February-14

080 worked the Ballina-Waterford DFDS liner and passed Cherryville Jcn on the up road at 1525.

Ah minor problems, these things happen, 075 is a beast and a good replacement

This was parked in P8 siding of all places and was unable to depart on time because of 13.00 to Cork which blocked the whole place up.

Are those 15mph or 15kph speed limit signs on those gantry cranes?

The rest of IE's network is in miles so think the same for that to.

jhnn

I have seen the same gantries in action north of Howth Junction in the middle 90s they operate at quick walking pace I would say 15 kph, then again I could be wrong......John.

Yeah, I think the limt signs are in MPH but I know the speedos in the DARTs, DMUs and 201s are all in kph.

Just thought 15mph is a bit slow for the gantries, seeing as they are air braked stock and all.

The speedos on all of the locos are dual units. DARTs are metric only as far as I know.

metrovick001

The speed limit of "15" applies to the units as they run along their own rails outside the 5'3" while working. When mounted on their wagon the "15" limit is not applicable.
