On the morning of October 14, 2014, Ken Fox led me on a tour of Irish Rail’s Cobh Branch.
At Rushbrooke station, I made this view of an outbound 2600 railcar heading toward Cobh from Kent Station, Cork.
Cork seems especially far away as I sit in the dark in rural New Hampshire (waiting for electricity to be restored following a weather related power ‘outrage’).

Working with my Canon EOS7D, on October 7, 2014, I made these photos of a Cobh-bound Irish Rail 2600-series railcar pausing at Rushbrook, Co. Cork.
Irish Rail’s Ken Fox was giving me a detailed tour of the line.
I made my first visit to the Cobh Branch in 1999. The same 2600-series railcars worked it then, but in a bright orange, black and white livery.

Today, it seems like a long time ago that I made this view of a meet between Irish Rail 078 leading the ‘Cobh Rambler’ and an outward Cork-Kent Station to Cobh railcar at Fota.
Exposed in October 2019 using my Lumix LX7 digital camera.

Last month while traveling on Railway Preservation Society of Ireland’s Cobh Rambler, I exposed two rolls of Kodak Tri-X using a Nikon F3.
This week I processed and scanned the film. Black & white film suited the gloomy dark and very wet weather.
Among my favorite images from the day were photos I made of my friends and railway staff on the trip.
Thanks to everyone at RPSI and Irish Rail who made this trip a rewarding experience and a photographic success!

There was a cool breeze and a hint of autumn colour when I exposed this view using a Lumix LX100 last week at Glounthaune, Co. Cork.
