photography, Rail transit marathon

Evening on the Cobh Branch.

Thanks to our friends in Cork, the other evening Kris and I made a few photos of Irish Rail’s Cobh Branch near Cork’s Kent Station.

It had rained (and rather hard at that) before the clouds cleared for some intense evening sun. These were great conditions for photos.

Irish Rail’s 2600-series diesel railcars have been working the Cork-Cobh run since my first visit in 1998, but now these are on borrowed time.

I made these digital photos using my Nikon Z6. I’m curious to see how my Kodak Ektachrome 100 slides will turn out.

It was beginning to rain when I made this photo of 2600-series railcars arriving on Plaform 1 in Cork. Within the hour the skies had cleared.
Less than an hour after the above photo, I made this view of an arriving train from Cobh.
Good ol’ 2616 at Kent Station, Cork.
