ROTEM Diesel Rail Car.
On October 6, 2014, I took a spin from Dublin to Cork. Irish Rail has been offering low fares online, and I booked a one-way ticket in advance for just 14.90 Euro. Word to the wise, walk up fares are much more expensive.
Sitting across from me was an American engineer who had just arrived in Ireland on business. He was impressed by the fast, smooth riding Intercity Railcar and its relatively full load. Sadly, he didn’t book online and so paid more than 85 Euro for a round trip fare.
I opted for the 1200 departure from Heuston Station and made some photos of the train using my Lumix LX7.
Upon arrival in Cork, my more serious photography began, and I made good use of the next 24 hours to make lots of photos of Irish Rail’s operations around Cork . . .Stay tuned for more images!

Tomorrow: Kent Station—Now and Then
During my only visit to the Emerald Isle I only had time for one ride on CIE and that was to Cork on a morning train form Dublin. Aboard that train I had probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had aboard a train. I’ll bet that disappeared with the old carriages.
