Years past, I made many colourful photos of Irish Rail 213 River Moy <\/em>on bright Spring days.<\/p>\n

One of my first encounters was in May 1998 at Carlow. I\u2019d arrived by bus (Shhh!!) and made photos of the down train (Dublin to Waterford) at Carlow station using my Nikon F3T loaded with Fujichrome Sensia 100.<\/p>\n

Seven years later, in the Spring of 2005, I was keen to catch 213 on the move, since this was the first Irish Rail class 201 to wear the revised orange livery with bright yellow front end.<\/p>\n

I saw this as a big improvement over the original 201 livery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
On 8 April 2005, I photographed 213 in fresh paint with my Contax G2 and 28mm lens on Velvia slide film.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A month later on 8 May 2005, I made this view of 213 light engine at Heuston Station in Dublin. Anyone need a cheap shoe?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And because it fits the theme, I\u2019ve also included a view from April 2006, of 213 descending Ballybrophy-bank racing toward Dublin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
It was on the evening of 17 April 2006 when I caught 213 with Mark3 carriages on the up-Cork passing milepost 62 1\/2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

213 hasn\u2019t turned a wheel in many a Spring now. It waits its turn in the sun in a deadline at Inchicore.<\/p>\n
