On 10 May 2005, I exposed this color slide of Irish Rail’s Claremorris Liner from Claude Road in Dublin.
This was toward the end of an era; Irish Rail would only move kegs of beer by rail for another year or so after this image was exposed.
At the time I was working with an F3T fitted with a 180mm lens to make the most of the glinting kegs as the train worked west into the setting sun. To minimize flare, I shaded the front element of my lens with my trusty notebook.

Why did Irish Rail discontinue delivery of beer kegs?
Noticed that there is a single container as opposed to the ‘three packs’. Hard to see what type of flat car it’s on.
That’s a lot of Guinness! TSH
