Prelude:<\/strong> on Friday, August 14, 2015, General Motors-built 201-class 8208 worked the Dublin to Ballina IWT liner. I’d photographed\u00a0that move on the quad-track near Cherry Orchard.<\/p>\n

I was\u00a0interested in this recently painted locomotive, which, of-course, is styled\u00a0for the Dublin-Belfast express passenger service, and not freight.<\/p>\n

Day of action:<\/strong> On Saturday, I saw\u00a0reports of 8208 working the up-IWT\u00a0liner. This\u00a0was an otherwise dull afternoon. I crossed the War Memorial Park on foot. No Vikings with their long boats today.<\/p>\n

I found my spot, and was poised at the Con Colbert Road bridge over\u00a0the three track-line\u00a0in a cutting (known colloquially as \u2018the Gullet\u2019). Moments before the liner appeared, the sun briefly emerged from the clouds. Lucky me! And so this Saturday-freight eased up to the \u2018Bridge of Signals\u2019 giving me plenty of time to expose photographs.<\/p>\n

First, I made a few strategically composed color slides with my Canon EOS 3 with 100mm lens, then exposed some digital photos with my Lumix LX7<\/p>\n
