Iarnrod Eireann no 232, 'River Cummeragh.

IR 201 class 'River Cummeragh' heads a Dublin - Cork train of Mk3's on the Curragh, Co Kildare (June 09). The much loved mk'3's along with iconic CIE/Irish Rail Orange & Black livery was retired a few months later in Sept 09. The IE general motors 201 class was the passenger design forerunner of the European freight class 66, here's a similar viewpoint to compare..
