That brings back Memories, I remember being in my Grandfathers house, and there was an old siding that came up to his back yard, and a beet train was sitting in the siding, as the line was so busy, they were letting two empties down from Limerick Junction before the full was let up , on that single line.
yes, shame. there was a lot that was done through the railway system. one time certain suppliers used to use the railway before they cut to supplying through wholesalers. I remember summers in primary school, collecting 'bearts' from the railway yard.
Time to connect the Irish ports to rail and end trucking subsidies. Irish motorists subsidise trucks to the hilt. I was in France and I was shocked to see an Irish tourist's tax disc showing over 500 euro car tax for a crappy 1.8 litre Peugeot Estate!! Mixed goods trains with 100km haulage with 4 wheel wagons ought to be viable but with gargantuan EU trucking subsidies no chance!
Super loud roar when you stamd near it. Amazing machine
