So whats wrong with the 22000 series loco? They sure look great...i was on one last July ex Cork

4:01 I don’t know what it is, but cab view videos on railways are so relaxing to watch ❤❤❤❤

My Grandfather on my Dad’s side worked in the CIE railway engineering works in Inchicore and he lived on the Canal Banks between Coolemine Level Crossing and Clonsilla Station on the Dublin - Sligo line - as a child in the 1970’s, I vaguely remember Mrs Byrne on the Coolemine Level Crossing and my Granny used to say that the trains in those days were so punctual that you could set your watch by them, even freight trains and special trains - I got the impression that Mrs Byrne would have shared timetable information with my granny back then too

If those coaches were still in service, I think that this would have been a most comfortable and pleasant journey from Dublin to Sligo, having arrived from Manchester via Holyhead ❤❤❤

Very nice video :)

Oh how i miss doing a Dart day ranger bagging a dozen or so locos a day in the process

What a truly superb sight !

This is great, Nothing beat more than listening to the 3-chime for the announcements

It looks like they were doing engineering works in Killiney.

25:02 that must be Woodbrook halt.

Shay checking in from dublin ❤❤❤

Eire of the 90's. A country that doesn't exist anymore. Great video, passed some places where I walked and grew up (Ashtown). Nice to see the perspective from the cab, always loved hearing and seeing the 071s roar past, always got a wave from the drivers.

Thanks again Gerry. A grand locomotive. That one'll have the GM V12 in it there? Cheers now!

Lovely video, I was at laytown in September 2003 and there was no signal cabin. What year was this beautiful cabin discontinued

The best footage I've seen in years, I love the intercity trains

Loved the video, what was that sign for at 1:34:14? Cheers

Connolly now only a shadow of its former self I spent a lot of time around there in the late 80s

The first view is of an 141, BR Mark 1 and two Park Royals on the Rosslare to Waterford, seen west of the Barrow Bridge. Hard to think of this line being closed, which was very stupid, considering two Waterford and one Limerick passenger trains per day and all that sugar beet traffic from Bridgeton / Wellington Bridge when in season. For generations living in Limerick, Cork etc. this line was THE way to Fishguard and London. Loved the steam heat, the Cravens were good, the Park Royals were better, and the CIE coaches were an experience and a half ! 132 stranded at Thomastown, had derailed with a seized traction motor, to be withdrawn after being wheelskated to Inchicore. 132 was one of only two 121s I missed for hauled (her plus 125). My wife and I saw her on a push pull set from Drogheda. We waited 3.5 hours at Howth Junction in the horizontal rain for her to work north, but there was no sign of her. We checked Dublin Connolly and she was not there either. We found her at Dublin Pearce not due back out for hours, so we left. Had several 001 A Class, all the 071s + 111s (which were my favourites), most 141s, 181s, and new 201s, plus one Hunslet 101, number 102 in Belfast. Happy days when "real railways" had locos, steam heat, single line tokens, mechanical semaphore signalling, and coaches you could lean your head out of ! Great video. Thanks for posting. Alas I never got a cabride in Ireland. But managed it in Blighty over 350 times, plus France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Canada and even drive a train in Hungary !

Hey. Can I please use some of your footage in my films? I will credit you for it.

Lovely job

the 2600s are now having there gangways removed so now... They look like 2800s

A single 121 used to struggle on a 6 coach Mark 3 push pull set. I had them to Drogheda. I think the single 121 was better suited to working a 3 coach Mark 3 push pull set on the Limerick shuttle. Anyway, far better than a kart (DMU).

I remember pairs of 121s on the Sligo line. Preferred 071s !

The crew chit chat is what makes these videos!!!!!!!! It's nice to hear people happy and having a bit of banter and craic! I think it's against the rules now!

Do you have a video with lots of Metrovicks?

Excellent!

I see the late great Jimmy Maher in the background serving tea and coffee at 19:35

And a van at either end of the cravens with Merlin in the first clip why is that she is only pulling 6 coaches? Maybe to do with the route or what they could get on the day. I looked later at the video made sense. Also nice catch of 461 and 85 double heading I do wish was able to have seen Irish double heading but the videos are just as good.

I got my Murphy models mk 2ds this week in ir livery love them. Bring back memories. And got the whole Galway set

Another fabulous video , thanks for posting it here. Cheers

Beautiful video

Lovely video, those bell containers bring back memories of them in Limerick yard

How many steam locomotives are still in use in Germany?

Fantastic upload, cheers

Indeed..re my own then local Irish station (Skerries), the old underpass was still in use. Now that exit is closed and the overhead walkway (+ lifts) apply at this stop.

What speed did they do in those days

Great video. Beautiful craftsmanship altogether. Love the off-camera complaints about the heat!

sound of jointed track @15:45 is just lovely

the HST was a dud,was completely re-engineered by WAGR in western australia but was known for being oil drenched due to leaks

9:13 The newest "Arrow" train. The seats got progressively less comfortable the newer the train.

Granda was a driver on the 85 back in the day ❤

Fabulous

It was not the only time a pair of 111s worked. 111 + 112 worked the ITG Yankee Explorer which took a pair of 121s to Derry / Londonderry. The Yankee Explorer also had 208 + 209 in multiple. 102 also worked from Great Victoria Street to Belfast Central.

What was the occasion having NIR 80 class over the boarder great to see I miss 80 class and 450 class.

30 years ago...

Irish Rail wasting money as usual!! God there really gifted @ it! I work on the infrastructure and regularly see millions wasted!! No wonder it's faster by bus 😂😂

i love your footage this brings me back to my childhood of getting 461 and wooden set down to rosslare and back

Wonderful action sequences. Thank you. The Hunslet must have been the ugliest loco to ever run on rails on this island.
