Irish Rail 141 Class 162+171 - Mk3 Dublin to Ennis 

fishplate7 Cheers, certainly there's no real railway left to see, all very clinical now!

Thx Joseph, yes I wonder when will we ever hear two 141s running together again :(

your welcome man and to be honest that is a good question, god only knows when they'll be out singing again

Dermot Ryan never had A class as double heades

+Paul Conneely Sure was, nearly 50 years of work in them :)

Thx Seán, I hadn't watched those clips in a while and that's the first thing that struck me - nearly everything has changed, I didn't even see the Wickham until now - alas someone I think has it somewhere! I filmed 079 while waiting for my own train to Limerick, so that was a bonus.

Eiretrains I wish I had some old footage!! Has that Wickham been scrapped?

***** The Wickham I think was preserved but I've no idea where it is now. I wish I had filmed stuff in the 1990s but was too young, but overtime what's recorded now will mature in the future - a bit like wine!

Eiretrains And cheese:)) It's true though, even the stuff I take will be historical footage someday.

Try Downpatrick & County Down Railway for the Wickham :)

It was 2008, a year before the Mk3 stock was retired from Intercity services.

@@Eiretrains Ohh.... Too bad it got stored. But lets look on the bright side: If you take the Pheonix Park Tunnel or any train from Heuston, you can still see the MK3!! By the way.... I never knew there was a Dublin to Ennis Route!!

To this day I'm not sure what service train it was, maybe someone caught it somewhere.

+BritishRail60062 Just seen your comment now, yes some proper trains, alas now all gone on Irish railways, replaced as you say by rather tasteless railcars! :(

Its the same here buddy but having a preference for loco-hauled stock. Maybe I am just living in the good times too much. Time to change that because today I heard a Class 68 and they make a nice roar when revving up. For looks they are nothing special but the sounds make up for that I think :).

I could not agree more! Loved these beasts that awaited me when I came off the ferry at Rosslare, waiting to take me to Waterford; as a very small lad I would get as far as Cappoquin, sadly no more

@@richjohn11 Cappoquin, on the Waterford - Mallow route, closed March 1967. Hard to think that it will be 55 years shortly.
