Super loud roar when you stamd near it. Amazing machine
That brings back Memories,
I remember being in my Grandfathers house, and there was an old siding that came up to his back yard, and a beet train was sitting in the siding, as the line was so busy, they were letting two empties down from Limerick Junction before the full was let up , on that single line.
+Thomas Thompson Thanks, glad you liked it, a shame it is all gone now.
yes, shame. there was a lot that was done through the railway system. one time certain suppliers used to use the railway before they cut to supplying through wholesalers. I remember summers in primary school, collecting 'bearts' from the railway yard.
Just come across this,lovely photography, well done.👍
Back in good days when we used to actually use or railroads one of my favorite trains 🇮🇪👌🏻
Very nice indeed! Thank you for uploading.

Very nice!
+Metro Vick Stayed tuned for Part 2 featuring Baby GM traction :)
Very good.
Wish that trains would be used here in Idaho to haul sugar beets and get all of these blasted trucks off the roads.
awsome photage
Time to connect the Irish ports to rail and end trucking subsidies. Irish motorists subsidise trucks to the hilt. I was in France and I was shocked to see an Irish tourist's tax disc showing over 500 euro car tax for a crappy 1.8 litre Peugeot Estate!! Mixed goods trains with 100km haulage with 4 wheel wagons ought to be viable but with gargantuan EU trucking subsidies no chance!
