Wonderful. The best trains ever in Ireland, if anywhere. That sound rouses the soul. I recall those big locos gunning up out of Belfast when I lived off the Lisburn Road a long time ago. I always had my window opened at the bottom of Dunluce Avenue so that the Dublin express would be my alarm call in the morning. Magnificent machines and so glad to see them alive and well today!
SouthernYard . Yes 20 years ago there was plenty to see and we took in for granted and thought it would never change. But sadly it has. Denise's camera is still very much used but not in Ireland.
@@gerryconmy Cheers Gerry. Much appreciated. I find myself regularly returning to this series of videos to look for details! A marvellous resource for us modellers.
Yet another amazing video, keep em coming! At 54:50 there is a loaded beet train heading through Sandymount towards Pearse... any idea what thats all about?! Was beet being run via the DSER and Dublin? Thats a long trip!

Sound of jointed is sadly missed like pure music,could listen to it all day
Great video, what a variety we had 20 yrs ago. I'm sure Denis leaves the video camera at home these days!
