Amazing archive footage there Ciaran, Those shots are just priceless.
A superb video letting us see what the trains were like when new. They have served us well. Thanks for sharing it.
***** Glad you enjoyed it, yes served us well for nearly 20 years.
brilliant video Ciaran thats some priceless shots that'll never be seen again with the delivery
Irish Race And Rail Yes we could be a while before we see a brand new Enterprise fleet.
New video of De Dietrich 'Enterprise' trains unloading at Dublin Port in 1996 and trialling in 1997.
Man I'm lost for words!
Lovely footage. It's quite a rarity to actually capture a train like that in such pristine condition on arrival! Just so sheek looking; well at least till the dust and dirt of operation kick in; though many's a railway modeler will tell you, no model train ever looks real without weathering! Oh and yeah nice touch mixing in 208 in her former blue livery (that is 208 right?) with the new consist coming in the opposite direction; I actually truly thought the engine with the new coaches was 208 in a later guise but on closer inspection I now know it's 206; mind you I had to rub my eyes a few times to convince myself what I actually saw. You picked a fitting time to do this too since as you know the fleets undergoing refurbishment :)
it really felt as modernity reached Ireland back then
Very nice
Fantastic footage mate
Nirtrainman Glad you liked it matthew.
+Nirtrainman Sadly these ones are scrapped
These coaches are still with us they are being refurbished as we speak.
oh then where are they
They are at York Road
Wow! I didn’t think they were delivered like this, Ive heard that the die Dietrich stock is faulty at times and that they replaced the cravens and mk2s n 3s
Superb Ciarán, love the transtion from old to new at 4:40. Out of interest what do you use to transfer what I presume were 8mm tapes? Congrats on the 1000 subs btw, much deserved!
The Irish Mainline Glad you liked it, they were VHS-C tapes, played through VCR and recorded onto DVD using a recorder, these aren't mine of course, but I use roughly same method for my own mini-DV tapes.
Eiretrains Ah yes, good ol' VHS-C. Wish I'd have used that format myself, would have made archiving to digital format much easier.
These are the best trains in Ireland and they should be used across the network instead of just the Dublin to Belfast line !
Nice video ,Prefer these trains to the 21st century stuff that operates nowadays.
I think the railway lines down the side of the point depot (3 arena) are gone now
They are but you can see the remnants of some of it
Wow such beauty, brand new, not even a scratch. Then it hits the border and bricks are pelted at it. I remember heading down the ways to dublin and the window got hit by a brick, some stupid waste of a human with no brain's thinking its great craic to throw bricks at the train headding south. Thank goodness the window did it's job and didn't come through.
Before the DART in 1981 I was on a train in Dun Loaghire station on my way home from school, I travelled everyday between Lansdown and Shankill. But I was standing at the door and some moron threw a rock at the train from the bus stop up on the road and it smashed through the door window and hit me right in the middle of my forehead ,I still have the scare 40 years later . everybody was shocked for me because I was only 11 .
Did the DeDietrich coaches ever get a run out on the Cork line?
During trials when new in 1997, they ran down the Cork line to Limerick Junction and back again.
@@Eiretrains that's brilliant. Thanks a million
people on road: QUICK ENTERPRISE ON THE LOOSE!!!!
