Last year Irish Rail cleared its cuttings on the northern approach to the Phoenix Park Tunnel in Dublin in preparation for introduction of a regular passenger service over the line to Grand Canal Docks.<\/p>\n

This work had the secondary effect of improving a number of photo locations, such as this view from the Dublin\u2019s Old Cabra Road.<\/p>\n

Last week on advice from Colm O\u2019Callaghan, I opted to work from this vantage point to photograph an Irish Rail empty \u2018Spoil train\u2019 [that carries debris left over from line works etc] that had been scheduled to run to the North Wall in Dublin.<\/p>\n

Shortly before the focus of my effort came into view an empty Irish Rail passenger train arrived and was blocked at the signal outside the tunnel.<\/p>\n

My question to you: are the photographs made more interesting by the presence of the passenger train?<\/p>\n
