Easy Peeler

Throwback vibes with a twist of irony! Here’s the General Motors Class 071 engine, rocking its retro orange livery like it’s straight out of the 80s—back when CIE trains were basically Ireland’s version of a tangerine dream.

 

This beauty was spotted on engineering workings, which, let’s be honest, most commuters loathe for the delays (sorry, Karen, you’ll get to work… eventually). But for us train nerds? It’s a rare treat to see this nostalgic beast in action, hauling history down the tracks.

 

Who needs a time machine when you’ve got this orange slice of the past chugging along—disrupting schedules and stealing hearts since the 70s!
