RPSI's ''Cork & Kerry'', ''Second Strand'' & 131 Renaissance - 10th - 15th May 2018

[@markwringe2826]

Some great photography there, very atmospheric at Drumcondra. And I remember very well that agonising crawl into Antrim, as I was on board.

[@GalgormHall]

Really enjoyed that, particularly the sections along the old Antrim to Lisburn branch. Thank you. Paul

[@irishrailtrains]

Galgorm Hall Thank you Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Terrific light you got, and a nice added bonus, at Drumcondra!

[@irishrailtrains]

AndreiTupolev Yeah true, it was the first time I have seen a tour stop at Drumcondra

[@patcoen1113]

Great footage especially 131 with the bad adhesion on the antrim Branch. She has quirky little noises of her own when goiing slow, but she surely can coast respectively!

[@irishrailtrains]

Pat Coen Thanks Pat, it's a very characteristic little loco and I'm looking forward to seeing it on a steam enterprise someday.

[@patcoen1113]

131 does Enterprise it will be poignant passing the spot where she was on a plinth for around 20 years. I remember seeing the bit in Rly Magazine about her initial relocation to Mallow! Must take a trip behind her someday and smell it's coal smoke and oil! Its a heck of an achievement reassembling and restoring it to running condition. I reckon a movie film or two might beckon for 131, also!

[@irelandbloke]

Superb steam action Stephen ! :)

[@irishrailtrains]

irelandbloke Thanks Rob!

[@padraigmcwilliams5680]

Great coverage Stephen of the whole weekend, especially drumcondra with Merlin and the Cravens with the brake dragging

[@irishrailtrains]

Nice work Stephen old 131 never let them down

[@irishrailtrains]

Thank You, she's a great loco I have to say!

[@ciandaly6214]

Excellent video Stephen!

[@irishrailtrains]

Cian Daly Thanks Cian!

[@joeykn9014]

Superb footage Stephen love how Merlin was dragging to the cravens weather you like it or not your coming with and the diesel tour footage there was no bother to it

[@irishrailtrains]

Joseph Newsome Thanks Joe, yeah I thought that was gas the way Merlin just forced the train to move even with a dragging brake.

[@joeykn9014]

Irish Rail Trains was a gas impression lol and for that disused Antrim branch the RPSI could have that as a preserved line same with the Dublin crowd could use the South Wexford line

[@irishrailtrains]

Joseph Newsome it would be a brilliant idea Joe, but you just know yourself that it won't happen

[@joeykn9014]

Irish Rail Trains with typical logic it'll never happen the Antrim branch will be usage but the South Wexford line God only knows

[@gerryconmy]

Excellent video well done.

[@irishrailtrains]

Gerry Conmy Thank you Gerry!

[@AshleyHawkins]

[@jasonmccann9350]

[@LukeWilson2003]

Great video Stephen

[@irishrailtrains]

Luke Wilson Thanks Luke!

[@JoshRichboysquadxyz]

Great shots... that diesel locomotive 071 sounds like a GE EMD.

[@irishrailtrains]

Josh Rich Thanks, yeah it's sounds very similar.

[@AndreiTupolev]

It is indeed yes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_071_Class/NIR_Class_111

[@martinwalsh3228]

Reopening of closed railway lines on the borderline of the counties would cut down on Traffic Jams, Road Deaths, Car Accidents & Traffic Jams.

[@gideonstupke2257]

Dinnae know why, but I love how colorful the engines in the U.K. and Ireland are compared tae the engines here in the U.S. Bonnie shots ye got.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Don't the sanders on 131 work when running tender-first then? Your poor old feller there had to scurry along next to it there putting sand down. She makes some interesting squeaky wheezy noises.

[@irishrailtrains]

AndreiTupolev She does, it's a very characteristic little loco. It was surprising how bad the track was on the Antrim branch

[@elliottfisherman]

@@irishrailtrainshad that bit of track not been used for a while at that time or something?

[@emeraldislevideography]

Nice Footage ! Any Idea Where Youll Be Recording Balbriggan Festival Maybe We Could Meet?

[@irishrailtrains]

Thank You, if I get a break during the day I'm sure that will be no problem.

[@emeraldislevideography]

Yes I Plan Filming It At Balbriggan Only
