Sunday 2nd February 2014:
Iarnrod Eireann is 27 years old today. One of their first new rolling stock purchases (excluding the MK3 order which started in the C.I.E. era) was the 2600 Class DMU's from Tokyu Car Corportation in Japan, along with the 201 Class Locomotives from GM in London, Canada. 20 years on from delivery, 2603 still looks smart as it stands in Mallow with the 1435 Cork - Tralee.
