Railway station needs to be reopened on time for Easter in 2025.
Great flight well done
You’re a legend for making the video I’m from Dublin 🇮🇪💙
🦘🤠
Wonderful pictures in a beautiful country cheers Bob.👍👍👍👍🦘🍺
What are those red "hoops" over the track for? Cables?
Nicknamed goalposts, they indicate to machine operators where overhead cables are
Truly superb videography again Dronehawk! Many thanks…you’ve excelled again this time…you must have spent many hours editing your video footage. It’s wonderful to see a railway coming to life again. Any idea when they plan to have the line re-opened yet? I’m looking forward to watching your video reports when they seriously begin to re-building the line from Athenry to Tuam and Claremorris. My late relative Bill Mannion….who lived in Tuam….was a great supporter of the railway’s re-opening. I think you’ll soon be videoing the section work being undertaken between Athenry and Claremorris….but I think reopening from Claremorris to Collooney Junction is a long way off yet! Keep up your excellent reports and I wish you many more happy hours of work on our behalf. Thank you so much for your efforts! Rob in Bournemouth, Dorset.
Would anybody know the name of the piece of music that plays in the background of this video? It’s really nice. I have tried Shazam and got numerous results none of which match the music.
Its called - Corporate Tech Upbeat Background - By matsteiner . I licensed it from here elements.envato.com/corporate-tech-upbeat-background-2GVQ6E6 Hope this helps - Dronehawk
@@dronehawkThanks again.
I got to love how well work is progressing, and the historic feel of the line is respected as well with keeping as much of the original bridges and underpasses or building new ones with the historic feel. I just hope that they will restore the derelict station building at Foynes and maybe the signal boxes as well although they will not have any use anymore? Perhaps install the modern signalling electronics in the lower floor? Were you not concerned loosing signal when flying trough that tunnel?
No , I was on the bridge just after the tunnel, so I could clearly see it the whole time
Will we get our first LNG terminal on the Shannon eventually? I hope so
Good on you Eire! This what should be happening in the Uk but isn’t at the moment
Too much money gone into HS-2 , So kitty is bare
Isn't this part of an all Ireland project ? Don't you mean Ireland and Great Britain?
where is this and im confused. is this main line/branch line or a heritage line as Foynes Railway Project sounds like a heritage line but all at once seems to big for a heritage line
Runs from Limerick City to the Port of Foynes in Ireland 🇮🇪
@@dronehawk thanks but is it a main line/branch line or a heritage line?
@@mario_master1 Branch Line , and its going to be used for freight only
@@dronehawk a. thats a bit sad its freight only but thanks for leting me know.
Irish Rail care and maintenance at its finest.
Excellent and informative coverage. I assume the wavey newly laid track will be made dead straight before ballasting.
I think that's all done at the same time , they lift , straighten and tamp the ballast in one pass
WOW Its really come on. Though if it was China would have been done 4x over by now 🤪 For rural Ireland though, on the home straight!
At loose end today. Tink il take a spin on my bike an see foynes thanks to this vid❤
Could do worse , some interesting sights and goings on in Foynes at the mo.
What are they going to do with the old station building?
Word has it the roof is to be replaced, whether this means opening to passenger services again remains to be seen
@@dronehawk maybe it'll be redone as a warehouse for trains
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 Generally no - Irish Rail have a policy of leaving diesel trains outside of covered roof stations - Tralee as an example.
Glad to hear the old station building will get some love. These things bring charm to a place.
I hope they are sympathetic to the design. Too easy to make some iron box with cheap cladding now.
Exactly what I was thinking , but I reckon it's a listed building. It's quite an attractive building from the roadside
Good Morning from the UK, Newcastle upon Tyne. Is the Passenger Station being reopened under the Project? I can see the progress on the rebuild of the Railway, looks like a great idea. Thanks in advance. JohnL.
Freight only “to begin with”. If they ever move to reopen for passengers the buildings will have to renovated, or probably knocked down and replaced by awful bus-stop like monstrosities, and the line re-signalled.
@@meiriongwril9696 Thank you. I hope that the positivity in the Republic towards Rail will filter down to this line and that the Line will reopen for passengers.
As commented on already , no passengers initially but I reckon the green agenda will be pushing for it later
Shannon bypass and bridge update.....
Before the month is out , weather permitting
Which bridge? There's like a couple of bridges on the line that are being redone
@@tomfitzpatrick7335Why not both!
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 He's referring to the Killaloe bridge / bypass project
Thanks!
Thanks for your support , much appreciated
@@dronehawk I love this channel.
Great video. Leave text on for a bit longer. Also maybe black letters would make it easier to read. Thanks
Them "energy windmills" are a ecological disaster.
Turbines - there's no mill involved.
An excellent project to date. Love all the old bridges and the yellow Unimog hauling some new track rails. Like most of your subscribers, I can’t way to see it operational. Well done to all concerned.
You could build at least 2 bike sheds with €32million... Great video, my thoughts are this is a great project but our government wouldnt have done this without EU directive. This is a European top down Ten-t project order to Ireland to complete so the folks building this railway cant build rail elsewhere until this is done. My only doubts are will this rail service see much freight from foynes port when built as we dont see much rail to/from dublin with Rosslare taking no rail freight at all.
Bike shed fiasco be funny if not true , absolutely sickening waste of money
I suspect you are right. This railway to nowhere was the price to be paid to the TEN t bean counters to access co funding for Foynes and Rosslare etc...and possibly the parallel motorway. The real need is for urban rail expansion in Dublin and Cork etc...not freight which redundant in such a tiny country like Ireland. Bit of an emperors clothes syndrome. Everybody knows it ..but is afraid to say it.
@@ajcummins7776 I could see a case for it if not for the motorway . All freight services in Cork stopped the minute the Cork - Dublin Motorway opened
More folley and monies never to be recovered. Who does these feasibility studies…coco the clown 🎉🤡
Great job on these videos. Production level is really high and the information comes across well.
Excellent report. Any idea of the navigable depth available on low water spring tides? One problem is that the port is on the west and most European countries are on the east.
Sorry , can't help you on the water info
@@dronehawk Thanks. I will ask the scheme’s promoters. T C
A direct east to west approach by sea to Ireland from most of the rest of Europe isn't usually feasible because the enormous land mass of Britain gets in the way. Much of the shipping from mainland Europe approaches Ireland from the south, having travelled along the English Channel/La Manche and then turning north at the south western tip of Cornwall.
I don't know about you guys, but I think that that bridge at 4:40 should be demolished if it's no longer accessible to cross over
You want to remove the bridge after the N69 underpass too ?
@@dronehawk well yeah, if it's not in use anymore, then they should demolish it
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 What about the beautiful limestone arch and brickwork ? If its structurally sound no harm leaving them there
I have to disagree. If that is original Stone built, available to use/re-use and not restricting the use of the railway, it should be preserved, even if only carrying a pathway.
Good luck guys
WOW that's a serious commitment! Hopefully it will all come true 🤞🏻 starting the motorway soon would be nice 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for your support ! really appreciated
Bring it back the reopening of the railway line cut down on Traffic Jams, Car Accidents/Road Deaths & Pollution.
Parts not greenway should be reopened to trains to cut down on Traffic Jams, Car Accidents/Road Deaths & Pollution.
Huge project, its going to be grand when the railway is up and running, thanks for the update 👍
Synergy of informative text and aerial videography of cinematic legendary status, makes these creations, much anticipated viewing.
Thanks again for keeping us all up to date!
If we could see the rebuild of the railway commence from Athenry to Sligo and onto Derry via Donegal. Then we’d have a great railway from Derry to Limerick.
Have hear my Mom saying how she would take the train from Killybeges to Donegal town. If the had that line back again it make things better for all ! More so for cargo .
Not only to Limerick, but to Waterford and Wexford town/Rosslare.
Great video and well done. It is great to see this railway finally being restored. While visiting Foynes about 15 years ago I located the old line, almost obliterated by vegetation. It was sad to see mature trees growing from between the tracks. By the way what is the title of the accompanying music? It is really nice. Thanks for the video.
I licensed it from here - elements.envato.com/corporate-tech-upbeat-background-2GVQ6E6. hope this helps

@@dronehawkMany thanks for that information. I will look into.
Brilliant
I would love to know where this is & what is the story? Australia.
Restoring a abandoned Railway, closed in the late 1980s. It runs from Limerick City to the Port of Foynes in Ireland , about 45 miles in length. Being reopened for freight traffic to the port . Thanks for watching
@@dronehawk thank you very much! That sounds great, looks like a fine line they are doing! Cheers from Oz.
Great video but single track?
@@owengriffiths6383 passing loops maybe?
It's Ireland's Ghan.
Great work as always. Thanks for the updates. such a lot of effort
Gosh!! I always feel relaxed after watching these videos! Ahhhh…..☺️
Very badly needed.
No to filthy american fracked gas!😢
Earlier I had heard about this old railway bridges, building and tracks come back alive again. This update was really grand. I've been waiting for an update on the progress on the line. Thank you and outstanding work. It is interesting to see that bridges and tracks are being replace, are kept to the way that the founders had laid their railway in the pass, still modern material. How much government regulation are involved? The Lackawanna Cut off is taken about a decade and more to get this passenger line reopen with so much government regulations.
As there was a line here already , a lot of the usual planning red tape was cut through as they are just renewing what was there already .
@@dronehawk I wish we could do the same here in the USA. An old rail line the Lackawanna Cut-OFF coming back to life with out red tape. Thank you for your reply as well.
Pleased to be kept up-to-date. In the case for restoration do you know what traffic was expected and the goods to be carried, if sny?
Thats the question everyone wants answered Tom. I'm not going to jump on the white elephant bandwagon yet, but I do reckon its being built on the "build it and they will come " premise
Thanks!
Thanks for your support, greatly appreciated
Can't wait to see the train on it way I've worked on the job laying pipes great job great videos from you 😅
Thanks 👍
I love watching these vids !!
Love watching , thank you !
