Oh this brings back memories. I was at IT tralee 92-96 and always got this train. Views of the Cork/Kerry mountains are great out the left side of the carraige. A real snapshot in time there...
She was fairly bouncing round the place. I remember making that trip once and that's how it was, quite bouncy. Ah the old days eh? Seems like only yesterday.
Colman Boylan The bells were used to warn of approaching trains , the North and South cabins had them it was to do with the crossings both end of the platform's going back years.
Thank you very much for uploading a very rare view from an Irish Rail locomotive. Very good quality for a clip of its age. 10/10

I know this is an old comment, but, i believe the bell sound in the cab was the driver vigilance warning
were these tracks so crooked or what? :)
who were the 3 guys sitting on the bench at the very start
Chris Mc Carthy , Jim Leahy Drivers and Loco Inspector Aidan Ridgway ( RIP )
Great video Tommy! Was that the old Minish LC towards end of video?
Finbarr O'Neill Yes it was its a change to what it us now.
Ride quality looks very 3rd world standard.
The ride on them was bad , more so when the bogies were slack.
enjoyed the trip!
