Extra! Extra! Irish Rail 077 in the new Livery makes one its first daylight runs.
A few minutes ago, at 4:25 pm, April 10, 2013, I caught Irish Rail’s 071 class locomotive 0117077 working a wagon transfer from Inchicore to Dublin’s Northwall . While the locomotive has worn this new paint for about a month, today it finally left its sequester at Inchicore works. It was understood to have worked a trial to Sallins (on the Cork road) earlier in the day.
The locomotive’s expanded number is intended to comply with European numbering conventions.
Not quite SP, but almost. Now, if Irish Rail used scarlet instead of yellow on the front, it would look great!
Great fresh material and paint! Just out the shop! Like a flower blooming for the first time!
A SP gray? IC had that and looked good till it faded out
