Sun on the Bog; Nice Light on Bord na Mona—February 2018.

February 2018 Foray into the Irish Bog in search of Narrow Gauge freight. [https://wp.me/p2BVuC-5jR]

The Irish Midlands are famously cloudy.

However, when the evening sun shines it makes for some wonderful photographic opportunities.

In February, Denis McCabe and I waited out the clouds, and caught two pairs of laden Bord na Mona trains in bright sun.

These images were exposed near Rathangan, Co. Kildare.

    Cool shots ! I would expect that one could follow these trains fairly easily as track conditions warrant a slow order . Do you know about the “horsepower “rating of the units? Looks like a interesting operation you guys caught there .
