The Irish Railway Record Society "Time's Arrow" 30th anniversary railtour, with class leader 2601/02 painted in original orange " Arrow " livery.
At the rear having just passed through Connolly Station, Dublin city centre on the way to Grand Canal Dock.
This photo is dedicated to Fred Dean, he would have loved to enjoy photographing this railcar, especially after it made its way back to his home of Midleton, Cork. Your friendship is missed.
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!
