The second part of this years Engineering Trains video.

1:29 - 2:19, later we see 071 class loco number 076 passing through Sutton Station light engine while operating wrong road in both directions. 076 had dropped the CWR Train just before Bayside Station. And had to use the length of the branch to Howth to run round.
2:19 - 4:12, Next we get an aerial perspective of the CWR train dropping rails between Bayside & Howth Junction, sadly vantage points are really poor along this stretch as the line runs behind houses so the drone was the only option here.

5:14 - 6:57, After completing the work through the night, 076 leads an empty CWR Train from Howth Junction - North Wall, followed closely by the two road railers.
