  1. Former GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion at full steam as she accelerates an #RPSI Santa Special out of #Maynooth along the banks of the #RoyalCanal tender-first.

  2. Former GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion at full steam as she accelerates an #RPSI Santa Special out of #Maynooth along the banks of the #RoyalCanal tender-first.

  3. This is the best side-view I was able to get of former 4-4-0 steam loco No. 171 Slieve Gullion working the 2025 Santa Specials. This shows the engine’s defining features nicely:

    1. Two sets of small leading wheels, two sets of big driving wheels, and no trialing wheels, hence 4-4-0!
    2. An un-tapered boiler (cylindrical)
    3. A separate coal and water tender (so not a tank engine despite the Thomas-blue colour)

  4. A quick post for you early birds, inspired by Allison Sheridan and Bart Busschots : "reduce - the ur-function" qmacro.org/blog/posts/2024/07/ #JavaScript #jq #ProgrammingByStealth

  5. @bart explains the tradeoff we have to make between efficient use of space and speed efficiency in search JSON files and how jq Lookups can solve that for us.

  6. In this episode of Programming By Stealth, @bart speaks of the existential concept, “Everything exists with the value of null.” But seriously - we learn how to manipulate arrays and dictionaries in JSON using jq.

  7. As we continue our journey learning jq, @bart teaches us how we can use it as a programming language. The debugging part alone was gold!

  8. Have you always wanted to build your own data structures from JSON files using jq? I bet you have! Listen and learn as @bart teaches us how to do it in the latest episode of Programming By Stealth.

  9. The challenges in Programming By Stealth were a bit more ... challenging for me so the first half is a deep dive into how to solve them and then we get into new material. This is PBS 158A because I asked so many questions, but @bbusschots’s shownotes cover PBS 158B as well.

  10. This perfectly straight contrail cutting through the wispy thin clouds caught my eye on my work to work this morning.

  11. As a comparison to this utterly cattywampus cycle lane road marking in #Lucan, here’s a more normal Irish one in #Maynooth (though a little carelessly stencilled)

  12. The designs of many of our Irish cycle lanes has led me to suspect that many are designed by people only vaguely familiar with the concept of a bicycle, these markings in #Lucan sure do suggest I’m right!

  13. A glimpse of times past — now heavily altered to become the dream home for a railway fan, hints of the distinctive MGWR (Midland Great Western Railway) architectural style survive in the former Lucan North station on the hill high above #Lucan village on the banks of a rural stretch of the #RoyalCanal.

  14. Winter gold! This lone Pot Marigold was brightening up the #RoyalCanal towpath at the 13th lock just opposite Intel in #Leixlip.

  15. A dull morning along the undeveloped stretch of the #RoyalCanal at Confey in #Leixlip as an #IrishRail Commuter service approaches the first of the two Leixlip stations en route to Maynooth.

  16. Having run around its train in Maynooth, former #GNRi 4-4-0 steam loco No. 171 Slieve Gullion steams around the sharp bend in the line and the #RoyalCanal at Intel in #Leixlip as it pulls an #RPSI Santa Special back to Dublin.

  17. A closer look at former #GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion as it steams past Intel in #Leixlip with an #RPSI Santa Special.

  18. It turns out just one of the twelve 2025 #RPSI Santa Specials would be blessed with some winter sun, but former #GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion sure looked great rounding the corner at Intel in #Leixlip yesterday morning!

  19. Yesterday morning was blustery but beautiful, and the commuters slowing down for #Leixlip Louisa Bridge stations could enjoy lovely views of the #RoyalCanal as they made their way towards Dublin. #IrishRail #train

  20. An autumn evening on the #RoyalCanal along the sharp turn between the #Leixlip Louisa Bridge and Confey stations.

  21. An #IrishRail Commuter service passing the supposedly haunted 13th lock on the #RoyalCanal having just climbed the bank at Collinstown. This lock and level crossing are on a tiny back road directly opposite the big Intel plant in #Leixlip.

  22. An #IrishRail Commuter service approaching #Leixlip along the banks of a mirror-smooth #RoyalCanal with some dramatic early autumn clouds above.

  23. One last railway photo from my lovely walk along the re-developed #RoyalCanal towpath around #Leixlip last weekend — an #IrishRail Commuter #trian rounding the corner at the bottom of the bank between Blakestown crossing and the new motorway link bridge at Intel Ireland. #BlackAndWhite

  24. An #IrishRail Intercity #train entering the tight turn on the approach to #Leixlip Louisa Bridge station as the railway and canal turn 90° to enter the Ryewater viaduct directly after the station. The newly redeveloped towpath is unusually free of joggers, dog walkers, and cyclists here!

  25. An #IrishRail InterCity #train accelerating onto the Ryewatwr Viaduct in #Leixlip having rounded the tight turn on the approach. #BlackAndWhite

  26. An #IrishRail InterCity rounds the tight bend on the approach to the Ryewater Viaduct in #Leixlip.

  27. The old #RoyalCanal toll house at the entrance to the Ryewater Vidaduct in #Leixlip had been beautifully painted.
