Sunday morning was warm but dull.<\/p>\n

Railway Preservation Society Ireland had scheduled a trip to depart Connolly Station Dublin for a run out the Sligo Road to Carrick-on-Shannon and Boyle.<\/p>\n

Where to catch it?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bit of a pull up toward Glasnevin Junction with the stiffest climb as the line passes Croke Park.<\/p>\n

At Claude Road a pedestrian bridge over the line offers an excellent view to the east.<\/p>\n

On a clear day this isn\u2019t a preferred mid-morning view, because you\u2019d be fighting the sun (to no advantage).<\/p>\n

No chance of the sun presenting a problem yesterday morning.<\/p>\n

I could hear number 4\u2019s shrill whistle as the engine departed Connolly, followed by more than five minutes of stack talk as the engine worked its consist of Cravens upgrade.<\/p>\n

Using my FujiFilm X-T1, I exposed this sequence of digital images as the train worked by me.<\/p>\n

I wonder, perhaps I\u2019d have been better off with my old Nikon and 400mm Tokina telephoto to hone in on the working engine? That would be a slide of course. Maybe next time.<\/p>\n
