Saturday produced some rare freight action with both Up & Down IWT Liners scheduled to operate. As an added bonus there was also a 1130 Portlaoise - North Wall PWD Materials Train which followed right behind the 0815 Ballina - North Wall IWT Liner. Later in the day I took a spin to Cork for a night out there with some friends.

42 / 208
Unusual heavy traffic in Roscrea meant I didn't get out to Ashbury Level Crossing in time to see the Ballast Train crossing. 088 waits to draw forward to drop the ballast. Fri 04.03.16
