I think the station is Newbridge. The Mk4 trains when travelling to Cork have a locomotive at the front, heading to Dublin they have a driving van. The junction where the drain goes onto the single line leads to Kilkenny and Waterford.
It's the closest. There is a loco at the front with a driving end trailer at the back. It is one of the newer Mark 4 stock built in Spain. Most of Irelands Previous stock in the past 30 years were BR converted stock bought new for our larger guage These included Mark 2s and Mark 3s. Our loco are US built by General motors in Illinois. Currently these are slowly being either withdrawn or confined to freight duties. Our modern Railcars are built by Hyundai in Japan and Korea
The class 201 Locos are actualy built by EMD in Ontario Canada not GM Illinois. It is a division of GM alright but they are a different beast to the old GM 071 and 181.
thanks to ireland victoria australia has 5 foot 3 guage railway track. otherwise we would have the smaller guages of the rest of britain or america! hehehe
i have great respect for the irish train drivers the way they will always give you a wave or flash the lights , there is a tiny station in laois called ballybrophy and if you ever pass it go in and see the little pub called the signal box , it used to be a rail building , pure magic , i was stranded there once waiting to change trains to go to dublin
I'm sorry to have to tell you that the Signal Box has been closed for a year or two now - so take a few cans in case you get stranded there again. It's still a nice station, though. The old footbridge has gone now and been replaced with one of the modern ones with lifts. That's progress, I suppose.
Didn't know what else to call it. Well Ireland sort of comes into the UK. Northern Ireland does. The Steam is in the UK, near Bridgewater in Somerset.
fair enough, I'm not going to get into the whole Ireland/Northern Ireland debate!I don't know much about trains, but it must have taken you a while to put the video together? Good on ye! The steam train is very quick.
I miss the orange and black trains
