At 10:54 am this morning (Sunday August 23, 2015) Railway Preservation Society of Ireland\u2019s Marble City (Dublin Connolly to Kilkenny) led by engine number 4 made an impressive display working up the Gullet from Islandbridge Junction in Dublin.<\/p>\n

Shortly before the arrival of the special, an Irish Rail ICR eased up to the bridge of signals. While this wasn\u2019t what I anticipated, it makes for an interesting contrast in equipment.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu? I think so.<\/p>\n

Kudo’s to the RPSI and Irish Rail for running the train. I hope everyone on board has an enjoyable trip!<\/p>\n

With a few of the distant exposures, I found the camera struggled to pick an accurate focus point. However, by using the \u2018continuous high\u2019 setting I was able to make up for\u00a0the problem by making a lot of photos in short bursts as the camera focused in-and-out. Steam can often fool autofocus (especially on dull days) and its important to be ready this degree of uncertainty when making photographs.<\/p>\n
