Hey

Here are a few photo's from a real Sunday on the Westport line as 087 hauled 7 Mk3's on the 15:30 Westport-Heuston.

A great performance by the engine,on time running the whole way up.

There are still plenty of life as expected out of the 071-class,thats the ones without the overhaul.The livery however is in rag order but still is a brighter colour than boring railcars hehe.

Anyway,

Enjoy
087 arrives at Westport on the 12:30 ECS from Claremorris.

As we coast into Athlone we meet 078 on standby and 082 connected to 6101 which is on a cradle.Maybe 6101 has now met its fate.
