Unlike the steam loco due to pull this #RPSI “The Midlander” special, the #IrishRail 071-class diesel locos have two cabs, so the look the same from both ends! Here the loco is pulling the return leg from #Maynooth back to Dublin along the #RoyalCanal, using the opposite cab to the first leg!

Right on time, but not at all what myself and my fellow train spotters were expecting, the fifty year old diesel loco 071, in it’s commemorative original 1970s livery appeared pulling the #RPSI “the Midlander” ‘steam’ special towards #Maynooth at Pike Bridge on the #RoyalCanal. #IrishRail

So in this dystopian future people under 16 won't be able to access real-time rail updates, and the rest of us will have to provide a passport and a selfie to find out if the train is running late !

Between the showers — an #IrishRail Commuter service leaving #Maynooth en-route to Dublin along the banks of the #RoyalCanal with rapeseed blooms adding a welcome splash of yellow along the towpath.

Old meets new — I got lucky, and managed to snap a meeting of former Great Northern Railway of Ireland (GNRi) 4-4-0 #steam loco No. 171 Slieve Gullion meeting an #IrishRail Commuter train at Matt Goff Bridge along the #RoyalCanal in #Leixlip. The loco was pulling an # RPSI (Railway Preservation Society of Ireland) “Midlander” special #train towards Maynooth.

A sunny afternoon on the #RoyalCanal towpath in #Maynooth — I met plenty of fellow walkers enjoying this beautiful amenity as the #IrishRail trains rumbled past.

The rapeseed flowers are really coming into bloom, both in our fields, and, along our hedgerows, including along the banks of the #RoyalCanal near #Maynooth. Not quite the same shade of yellow as the safety front on the #IrishRail trains, but thought it was a fun pairing anyway 🙂 #Bloomscrolling

When you’re standing in a beautiful dusk scene it’s always tempting to shoot into the setting sun and get those amazing oranges, but when you turn the opposite way you get cool rich blues which can be beautiful in their own way!
I shot this #IrishRail commuter train approaching #Maynooth along a mirror-smooth #RoyalCanal with my back to the setting sun.

Since it’s Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 🇮🇪: going through pictures taken in #Ireland in August 2024, travelling from #Dublin to #Belfast with the #IrishRail #Translink #Enterprise #InterCity. It’s a push-pull train. There’s an IÉ Class 201 diesel, and … (🥁) it’s got a bar-buffet style #DiningCar (sort of).

An #IrishRail Commuter train passing the Duke’s Harbour on the #RoyalCanal at Pike Bridge east of #Maynooth opposite the entrance to Carton House. The sun peeped through the racing clouds at just the right moment!

An #IrishRail InterCity passing the #RoyalCanal jetty at Jackson’s Bridge while the spring sun shines down on the still bare trees. The leaf buds on the trees are right on the verge of opening, so by next week the trees will probably be greening.

Peacefully grey — an #IrishRail InterCity accelerating out of #Maynooth along a mirror-smooth #RoyalCanal on a dull but perfectly still Irish spring afternoon.
