The first locomotive detached, pulled forward and stabled on the main line. LM429, then positioned between the two rakes, draws forward on the spur for loading. When the loading is complete the first locomotive runs down the spur an takes the second rake out and...

I was on cummuter class 29000 to droaghida when i saw an enterprise train over taking us on skerriecks to barbigan
Is this a Common thing to happen on Train Tracks?! 😮😮 I thought it was like the Road, Trains go one way and another way. Also is that outside Balbriggan?
It depends. Tracks are equipped with signalling, not all tracks are equipped with signalling in both directions, and especially on very busy railway lines, there might just not be any space to let one pass on the fly. But if there is space, and there is signalling, you block traffic entering the counter-flow track and reverse the signalling and (mostly) let the faster train pass. You'd keep a train that stops along the way on his normal track, so as to avoid unassuming passengers crossing the tracks when they see their train arrive on the opposite platform.
☘️🇨🇮🇵🇸
Odd - you assume the two tracks are meant for trains moving in opposite directions.
Well said ..exactly my ultra second thought and I worked on London underground for 5 years .....amazing
Look at that it’s a race between these two trains And it’s the express train has gone past the local train round the outside
That's what mostly happens, so you can liberate the track meant for traffic going the opposite way faster. And depending on your railway's regulations, it might also be forbidden, as to avoid changing platforms for passengers, because they can do stupid things if they suddenly see the train arriving on the opposite platform, and start crossing the tracks.
If I'm not mistaken the inspection carriage is applying ultrasonic transducers to the rail top and measuring the reflections. A fracture or crack will reflect back in a shorter time than a signal that goes all the way to the bottom of the rail. Water - and maybe some kind of lubricant? - is used to ensure good coupling between the transducer and the rail and reduce wear - hence, I presume, the water wagons. Nice.
I've seen this once. I was on the 29000 to Dundalk when the Belfast Enterprise overtook us, however I forgot which side. I'm pretty sure it overtook us just like this video with us on the right and the Enterprise on the left. I got so confused when I happened to look outside the window as the Enterprise made it look like we were reversing for a second. Took me a second look to figure out what was going on as I did not know this can happen until I experienced it first hand
Flat out rattling
The leading unit, 1803, is no more. It was sold to OYLO in 2017, then PSAP in 2018. As of 2024, it was sold to BUGX, and sent to Oklahoma Railway Museum.
BNSF 7777 sounds great in 2007
I wonder if pnwr 2005 is still operating?
It's been repainted and had some significant upgrades with it's electrical and control systems since June or July of 2016. But as of April 2024, the Local's one and only major customer had been shut down permanently. I lived next to the Bailey Yard in Corvallis for several years and since the shut down, it seems the P&W withdrew the 2005 from it's home terminal and possibly suspended the Corvallis Local freight service indefinitely. The remaining customers that are normally served by the local are now consolidated to being served by the Toledo Patch, the Albany Switcher, or the Westsider. Unless one knows the exact whereabouts of the 2005, it's possibly in long-term storage or being reassigned to another duty.
It's safe to travel on trains again as that Covid-19 is no more.
Ahh yea, its grand.
Never heard an 071 go up through the notches quite so quickly, nice! 0:40
This loco (073) had an issue with the engine speed governor or the load regulator apparently at the time and would do this from time to time.
Look at that old high hood
Great video

Good
At 4.55 the entire other train seems to disappear into a shed 🤔
3001’s horn has been replaced. It doesn’t sound funny anymore
I didn’t know the GN mainline had Bi-Directional working.
Yes, bi-directional between Skerries & Balbriggan. As far as I recall Howth Jcn.-Connolly was signaled as bi-directional as part of DART CTC in early 1980s, not sure it it still is though.
Sorry for such a late response but yes, the line between Skerries and Balbriggan is bidirectional but only in the northbound direction, it's only really done to allow Enterprise trains to overtake commuter trains.
@@IESpotter"... bidirectional but only in the norhtbound direction"! I'm ambidextrous - but only in my right hand.
@@QuickPLC-kh5of the southbound track is still bidirectional if it's only in the northbound direction.

The best sounding locos anywhere. Powerful stuff. Love that there are a few still at work across Ireland. Thanks for sharing these amazing trains and shame on me for taking 11 whole years to recognise all the hard work.
I lived in Dunluce Street Belfast in the early 90s close by the Belfast/Dublin mainline and I heard these big locos powering up from Botanic and I'll always love that sound. Always. Bring back real locomotion to Irish Rail I say. Proper Trains.
Like wise never seen anything like that before
Nice 👍👍🙏
What country is this? I only british rail and it definitely isn’t that. I known it’s somewhere in Europe though.
This is Irish rail

I've just subscribed, Love your footage.🙂
Thank you.
I do believe i captured that very train as it went via ballyreddin crossing just after leaving Waterford the same morning
Great Capture!😃.
Lovely images with IWT trains, great engines sound! Good work! Thumbs Up Greetings from Romania Andrew
Question - why is the fuel tank on this unit "half size"? I've seen this before on other units and have often wondered... weight issue?
Cool but weird to see
is it still around anyware. where there any others like it in ireland
How many tons can those trains pull?
About 1000
Nice Shots!😃.
Never heard a 1st gen K5HL this powerful due to the Doppler effect; sheeeesh
What's being dumped out the window at 1:23?

Nice Footage!😃.
Nice shots. Such a shame no more rakes are about
It's mad to think that the original batch of 201s have now been withdrawn for as long as they were in service.
... the incessant bells ruin the experience...
Super Shot!😃.
I get the feeling thati am witnessing something we have lost
I'm afraid so Austin.

2:17 YES!!! AFTER MANY YEARS, IVE FINALLY FOUND THIS SHOT!!!! My grandparents used to live in Corvallis and ive been taking serious interest in this particular rail line for nostalgic reasons
Superb catch !
Always handy to have a puncture repair kit and pump at hand. 😂 You can clearly hear it. Nice catch. 👍
Great footage David. Especially 073 at Beauparc, quite the rural scene.
