February 2014
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.

An interesting (and frustrating) day today with three locos needed for a timber train and several Dublin bound Cork services delayed from train faults and bad weather.
