Irish Railways Video Thread

Nothing special but was out for a walk last week and heard the unmistakable rumble off in the distance so made my way over and took a video.

ITG Tuam Freight Liner Railtour.

At 16:18 you will see the remains of loco K801. At this stage it was beyond saving. If only there was diesel loco preservation in the 1970's it would have been saved.

Video is great anyway.

Evening all,

Recently while going through an external hard-drive I found some video clips I recorded of trains between 2007 and 2012. Most of them I put on YouTube at the time as individual clips but I thought it might be interesting to combine them now into longer videos, grouped by years. The timeframe will be broen into four parts, and have uploaded Part 1 tonight which covers just 2007.

Things to note - as they were recorded fifteen years ago the picture quality is not high-definition 4k, but rather 480p. Also some of the clips are short as my primary focus back then was to photograph the train rather than take a video of it.

That being said, I hope they are of interest as they include some long lost scenes. 2007 was when we still had orange 071s and 201s on Mark 2d, Mark 3, Mark 3a and Mark 3 push/pull sets. The Enterprise was still in original livery, apart from full yellow ends on the carriage driving cabs. And as featured a number of times in this video, the late summer brought loco-hauled GAA specials to Dublin Connolly.

Parts 2 to 4 will be uploaded over the course of the next week or so.

Hope you enjoy!

This festive season ends with the fourth and final part of this series which covers 2012. Most of these clips haven't been posted on YouTube before, and include an evening on Gormanston and a trip on the DCDR in Downpatrick.

Hi,

It seems the four-part series I shared at Christmas is in fact a 6 part series. Recently I found more clips on some SD chips that I haven't shared before. They cover more of 2012 and 2014.

So 2012 Part 2 is now online, feature 2700 DMUs, 8113 on a ballast, more Enterprise and Tara Mines trains on Northern line and some steam action. Will post 2014 on Monday.
