in 1994 the first 201 class (the most powerful, fast and heavy locomotive in Irish history) was delivered by airplane. the locomotive was part of a huge and badly needed investment in Irish railways. unfortunately many of the class where withdrawn long before they should have been due to the decline of loco hauled passenger trains in Ireland. however those that stayed in service certainly have ...

Today we are at the small statin of Kilcock. this station is very poorly served compared to Maynooth just a few km down the line. the dart project well see the line to Maynooth electrified and a dart service put in. this is only supposed to go as far as Maynooth. however not all hope is lost as the new dart depo is supposed to be built in Kilcock.

Great video, I understand this was the last BnM ballast train, it was used to reballast a section of the Eastbound mainline at Cloncreen to improve the line the laden peat trains used for the tail end of 2023
@@narrowgaugeexplorer thanks. I wouldn't have known where any peat trains were without you
hang on a minute why do I recognise that 29000, Enterprise and 131 in the same clip. but this is a fantastic video for 30 years of the 201 class
Thanks very much. I don't know where that clip could be framiler from.

Aint that Edward the blue engine's basis?
I think so
When in 2024 it it all stopping
unfortunately the last peat rake was last Thursday out of Belair bog. luckily there are still ash trains on the system out of edenderry i think evry day in the morning. there is also talk about transporting stone on some of the lines for building greenways. there is also still the ocaisional fuel train on parts of the system. there is also suposed to be lots of track lifing trains however alot of theese dont seem to be operating at the moment/ there is a very small chance that there might be some more peat on the edenderry system though it is very unlightly. a good lad to contact for mor information is sean cane on Facebook. facebook.com/sean.cain317/
Ar ther ane work gowing aun in the bogs now wher was this bog longford
this bog was just outside of edenderry. all the ones in Longford are unfortunately closed now.

Where's the peat wagons
in the bog. you hardily expect the RPSI to haul peat wagons on there trains that are the wrong gauge
Lovely video! What make/model of drone do you have? Looking to buy one myself maybe
Also, i'm guessing the land to the right of the shot at 7:00 is for the proposed dart depot, not sure though of course
the drone is a DGI mini 3. if you are buying I recommend also buying the controller with the screen on it as pairing a phone to it can be very slow which when a mark 4 suddenly appears from noware is not somthing you want.
@@irish_trains I could not say for sure but looking at this image www.dartplus.ie/S3mvc/media/DART-West/Emerging%20Preferred%20Option/DW-EPO-Depot-Site-GC.png id say its probably the land on the right of the track beyond the housing estate at 2:35. i could be wrong though
@@fivefootthreetothreefoot Thank you for the drone suggestion, I may look into it
@@fivefootthreetothreefoot the lands around 53.393919, -6.655816 seem to be the start of the depot site according to the image, which does appear to be beyond that housing estate 👍👍
Cracking shots how you finding the drone?
thanks. the drone works well but landing it is terrifying
Absolutely amazing video!! 👏
thanks
Nice video, what a rollercoaster of a day, seeing her wheel-slip while shunting 216 out of the way will never not be the coolest thing ever though.
thanks. it sure was a good day.
Great Footage!😃.Well Done!.
thanks very much
Am I mean to laugh at that last bit with the person running hopelessly. 😅
the feeder bus was on time. the station signage is clear. the train was on time. I personally can laugh as the railway is not at all in fault.
Music to my ears ❤❤
sure is a lovely sound
3:33 music to my ears :)

Dromod is my family home land, my father Jack Shanley and his brothers worked at Dromod station during WW2, their job was transfering coal from the narrow gauge railway to mainline gauge. Now 70 years old, I just remember the narrow gauge rolling stock parked up at Dromod. I do realise that in the past 60 years, the rail road is mostly built over, so consequently, there is a very limited line for the heritage railway to run on. Sadly some of the very valuable steam locomotives have ended up in the USA and elsewhere. Not wishing to be too critically. How about a big clean up and get the scrap boy's in to clear out what is not related to the narrow gauge railway and bus travel. Dromod is forever in my heart. The Shanley's who worked at Dromod station were Jack Shanley (my father) and his brother Michael Frank, who was a signal man on the main line. Jack ended up in Mullingar as a signal man.
it is people like you who take the time to tell their story that makes railways such an interesting hobby. indeed, it would be lovely to devote the Cavan and Leitrim to its original rolling stock and rebuild the line. indeed, Dromod is a beautiful town today. I can only imagine what it would have been like during WW2 trying to keep Ireland running on arigna coal. thanks very much for taking the time to share your story.
Merry Christmas !!! sorry for being a few days late
also that foggy shot of 081 at 1:17 is just perfect
merry Christmas.
that shot of 081 was at mallow on the liffey leesider. there where loads of foggy shots that morning down in cork but all where unusable as rain got evryware

Skillful filming! Some beautiful footage there.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the video
thanks
Great video! Sad what theyre doing to the bog railways... Out of curiosity, are you local to Edenderry Power Station?
thanks. unfortunately I am not local. if I was I would probably spend my entire life by the railway.
WOW...Thank You for posting...love narrow gauge. Still some small gauge track in here Richmond BC...hauling cranberries...
thanks. hope the ones in Richmond BC keep going strong.
They planning to save the railway ?
unfortunately not. there was a tourist train on the route back in the early 2000s and it ran very well. they stopped running it as it got in the way of the peat. I cant understand why they wont bring it back
there are a few heritage railways including west Clare, Cavan and letrim drumid and stradbally who are preserving what they can.
Lost and gone forever now,
will be very soon. December 19th is the last day
Are the locos on the MK4s going? also awsome shot
luckily no. the engines are being modified to run on hydrogen fuel instead of diesel. they will be doeing the same with the 071s. will post a video within next day or 2 of modified 201
Nice video :)
Glad you enjoyed it
saw myself at 21:33
hope you enjoyed the railtour
Good video, I was onboard and I thought that she was making a good noise, then I seen the clip at 2:35 and I was like “Jesus Christ, I don’t know she was that loud at all” ;)
she sure was very loud. it seemed even louder in person than on the video
Great video Naoise was a great day
thanks very much. it sure was a great one
We've got 5ft 3 gauge here in Victoria.
I did not know that. you learn something new every day
Nice to see the four tracks proving their worth.
it is indeed. imagine if the Dublin to Belfast was 4 tracks
The last time i stood on that beach was when the mk2s and ammonia ran through here
things certainly have changed
nice channel name
thanks
Nice clips of the 29000's. I couldn't identify the back round noise at first.. It was the sea. I don't think that I have ever seen any train traveling on the Greystones side of Bray Head. Is there still a pub open across the street from the station. T he station entrance is the most central in a town, I ever saw. I got a 5pm from Connolly to Greystones, then across the street to the pub with friends. The rain was a cravens set! We then got an Imp bus back to bray! Must have been Summer 1998.
thanks. the pug burnabys across from the station is still there
@@fivefootthreetothreefootNice little place, & closer to Greystones stn is than the pub at Connolly is to the platforms. Bray Stn & Pub were very conveniently situated, took when I was there in 2003. Looing at a match on tv and looking at a Dart passing by outside.
@@patcoen1113 it is indeed a nice looking place. it reminds me of Fitzgerald's pub which was right beside castlegregory junction on the old Tralee to dingle railway. there are some stories of the driver and firemen leaving the engine to fill with water whilst going into the pub. whilst they where in the pub they got drunk and left the train overflowing with water for hours.
Nice catches of some high speed services. Can't wait to see this line electrified. Fingers crossed they'll add variable gauge tracks for international trains from the UK, as the Irish gauge is slightly wider the the standard European gauge.
hopefully they will add more tracks on standard gauge. it would be great to have a connection to the UK
this is good
thanks
