Irish Rail Trains in Ireland & Northern Ireland ´04 iarnrod eireann eire railway railroad train DART class 071 GM EMD

A VHS video about passenger trains in Ireland. Unfortunately, I had massive problems converting it: The sound track didn´t match with the video track. So there is more Irish folk music than GM diesel sound ... sorry!

I'll be visiting Ireland in April, and be taking the train to Cork, Galway, (maybe to Sligo or Westport) and to the Giant Causway. I really wanted to go to Donegal, but no train service, darn.

[NThusiast]

but there is a train museum at Donegal in the old station.

And you should go to Cultra in Northern Ireland where the transport museum is. Very interesting!

[Mk3PushPull]

Things have changed so much since then!!

[NThusiast]

really? What exactly has changed?

[foneill9]

Why can't we get through just one single day without invoking "The fields of Athenry"? Whether we're out for a pint, marking a national holiday, celebrating our accomplishments, staging a football match, and now, even making a video about our railways, yep, it's Athen-f*%@#n'-ry all bloody night long. The rest of the world, in order to be PC, pretends to like it too. It first came out in the '70s (a Paddy Reilly hit); it was a whiney, self-pitying dirge even back then. Pass the flamethrower :(

[NThusiast]

Actually, I did it without intention... Just haopended by chance! As I said in the description, I just had to cover the original noise.

[Tommy Phelan]

we're all train lovers just enjoying the video. no need for that kind of polictical tripe.

Many 201s are withdrawn and stored. The only liveries that remain are

a) Freight Sector (Black + Silver) 071 Class

b) Orange + Black 071 Class

c) [MkIV] InterCity (Green + Silver)

d) ICR (InterCity) (Silver) Class 22000

e) ICR (Commuter) (Silver) Class 2600 &2700

f) Commuter (Lime Green) Class 2600, 2700, 2800 and 29000

[IrishModelRail]

Only one 141 Class (Small GM) remains in service. All of the 071 Class are now performing menial duties and freight duties. Only the Dublin - Cork/ Dublin - Belfast services are still locomotive hauled. Other InterCity services are in the hands of 22000 Class railcars. Commuter services are in the hands of the 2600, 2700 (2 sets withdrawn), 2800 and 29000 Class railcars. Some 2600 and 2700 Class have been repainted into ICR livery. Only Four freight flows (2 Liners, Timber & Zinc/Ore) remain.

a bucket of soapy water and a brush should do the trick. Love the turbo whine

[Conor Lacey]

Those trains are not used anymore

[Conor Lacey]

get the enterprise from connolly or drogheda and take it to belfast central. Get a taxi or something from te station, its not that far.
