Republic of Ireland
6th April 1985 to 3rd September 2001

I made my first visit to Ireland in early 1985 to take part on a "Pathfinders" railtour. Since then I have been back several times both for railtours (covering many freight only lines) as well as travelling around on scheduled services. Always a favourite, for a long time other than DEMUs in the North and EMUs on the DART system around Dublin, the network was 100% loco hauled. Things began to change in the early 1990s with the delivery of DMUs for Irish Rail in the South, however mainline services are still hauled all by General Motors built locos.
