Irish Rail 073 was repainted in 2017 into heritage orange paint.
When I arrived in Ireland 20 years ago, most locomotives were in some variation of this orange-livery. Today, 073 is a novelty.
The bright orange with white trimming makes for a great subject, even on cloudy days since its stands out well from the background.
I made these views last week at Dublin’s North Wall of the arriving IWT Liner.
