This "Gentleman" had decided it was a good idea to take his rottweiler for a stroll on the railway line at Portlaoise. He had been spotted sitting on the Mountrath Road Bridge by a member of the public who had called the Gardai. Once the Gardai had called the Iarnrod Eireann emergency number to CTC, all traffic through Portlaoise was stopped. Meanwhile the person had waked along the Station Loop to the Station Platform and was intercepted by the Gardai who then removed him from the Station. The 1620 Portlaoise - Heuston was delayed 9 minutes and the 1525 Heuston - Limerick was delayed 15 minutes while this individual was removed from the station. Tues 21.06.16

The Liner is booked to spend 40 minutes in Portarlington Up Loop, but it usually gets a run up the main line to Dublin.

On Tuesday 1st April the Sperry Train visited the Cobh & Midleton Branches before stabling in Mallow for the night. The following day it operated as the 0945 Mallow - Portlaoise. To provide additional brake force two wagons and BR Van 3187 from the Weedspray Train are marshalled into the train as well. 082 is pictured at Clonkeen Bridge shortly before its arrival at Portlaoise.

Thursday 20th March 2014 was a bad day for the IWT Liners from North Wall. The 0935 departure slipped to a stand on the climb out of Church Road to North Strand Jct. A banking locomotive was attached to the rear, but this also proved futile. The train returned to North Wall and eventually departed at 1325. The 2nd IWT Liner of the day, the 1330 departure left North Wall at 1430 and had a storming run to Athlone arriving 37 minutes late. My original plan was to photograph the liner at Geashill but heavy traffic between Portlaoise & Mountmellick scuppered that idea. A game of chase was now afoot. Plan B was Clara, but that looked doubtful as the train and I reached the R443 bridge in Tullamore at the same time. Plan C was decided upon, north of Athlone! This was only supposed to be a quick detour on the way home. 077 is pictured passing Level Crossing XM027 Duignan's at Barry Beg which is north of Athlone. Thurs 20.03.14

075 hauls the "steel train"past Cloney between Athy and Cherryville. The 0955 Belview - Portlaosie Per Way Yard was running 1hr 20minutes late at this stage and had slotted into the 1130 freight path between Waterford and Portarlington. Sat 22.02.14

Not a everyday sight you would expect to see in Skerries. 8127, which I pictured in Drogheda last month and now has one axle on a wheel skate, was scheduled to operate back to Fairview on Wednesday 4th September 2013 hauled by a 29000 DMU. Unfortunately during the transfer move to Fairview, there was a fault with the EMU & it was dumped in the siding at Skerries. Later in the afternoon, Mr. Church was in the Skerries area to photograph the EMU. Wed 04.09.13

The RPSI ran 461 to Portlaoise for a second day as part of its trials following repairs at Inchicore. Today the train was only formed of a Craven + BR Van due to a brake fault on two of the other Cravens before departure from Inchicore.

After a lull of several months the project to convert MKIII Vans to operate with the De-Dietrich vehicles seems to be gathering pace again. On Friday 1st July 2011 220 took the former 7605, now renumbered 89605 and displaying the full EVN number of 55-60-89-89605-5 from Inchicore to Limerick Jct to turn the van on the triangle before taking it back to Inchicore.
