Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

A second (eight day) visit to Ireland to capture some loco hauled trains before the arrival of new Inter City DMUs. I flew to Dublin and spent first afternoon getting photos at Portarlington and Cloney. Next day was a full day in the racecourse at Curragh taking some great photos with good weather. Next day I returned to Curragh for a while and then went to Galway with 082 for some great GM sounds. Next day photos at Cloney and Portarlington and then a run with 083 to Limerick and back. A few days on the good 071s followed and I managed two different 071 out of Westport in a day! The Monday was a holiday and lots of us did 083 on a Tralee - Dublin relief while such things were still happening. Next day a few moves and then flew back home
