    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!

    074 worked a Ballina bound IWT this morning


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭n0brain3r


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭n0brain3r


    078 just ran light through Sallins for Dublin

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭n0brain3r


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭n0brain3r


    078 just ran LE through Sallins for Newbridge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭n0brain3r

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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭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.
