Video from couple of visits to Ireland in 2000 and 2005, mostly of the (long gone) charismatic class 141 diesel locos on branch/secondary line passenger trains. The larger class 071 and 201 locos are also featured. Classic railway operation, including train runarounds, accompanied by the raucous chant of EMD Rootsblown V8 engines in the 141s turn up the volume and enjoy!

For more class 201 video, see part 2    • Irish Loco Hauled  part 2
