Southern Way No 54, just published, has a fascinating article on Bulleid’s last experimental loco, the CIE Turf Burner. Seen here on test at one of the Dublin stations which is unidentified, could it be Westland Row or Pearce as it is called today? https://t.co/WXzWmkGMYg pic.twitter.com/DDqGrZj8El

Bleedin’ loco.

Some archive clips I’ve edited together of the CIÉ summer excursion trains to Youghal during the 1970’s, filmed by the late Joe St Leger, featuring Carrigtwohill, Killeagh and Mogeely…

They’re still waiting.
Of these shots of Connolly Station, Dublin 1 from the late 1990s artist and photographer Thomas Fitzgerald writes:
“I wasn’t living in the city. I was working in Dublin, but still commuting from my home town of Wicklow. As such I spent a lot of time getting the train from Connolly station. While it was part of my daily routine at the time, I can’t believe how strange it looks now. Since these shots were taken the station has undergone a major refurbishment, and of course, the Luas tram system now stops there also.”

It was a luxury plane on wheels.
Take that Cathal Coughlan.
Good times.
A laconic and fascinating drive through Dublin on the Number 11 bus route filmed by RTE in the Winter of 1966 and narrated by a grumpy CIE driver.
