NIR 80 Class Sandite Train at Trooperslane 15/11/17

The 41 Year Old 80 Class Set is not giving up quietly just yet.
Here we see the thumper at Trooperslane working the Belfast Central - Carrickfergus - York Road leg of the day time sandite train.

No prob

[@thomasnorton2679]

Why did it get a run out?, always nice though to see it back on its old stomping ground

[@RailVideosNI]

MPV Is booked to do a Newry run on Wednesdays and what I believe the 80 should be out as well each Wednesday until the end of the season (most likely another 2 or 3 runs) if all goes to plan the 80 will serve Bangor and Carrick only leaving York Road at 12:50 and getting back to York Road between 15:00 & 15:30

So this the what... 4th or 5th consecutive "final season" in operation?

[@RailVideosNI]

4th i think + both engines are running

[@szymongorczynski7621]

Only one engine?

[@AndreiTupolev]

I think the other one was running as well, only the one at this end was making much more clag
