Two Sunday Mornings in a row I walked up to the line with an aim of catching an 071 class locomotive in heritage paint leading Belmond\u2019s Grand Hibernian<\/em>cruise train on its run from Dublin Connolly to Waterford.<\/p>\n

Two Sundays, two locations, two heritage locomotives (numbers 073 and 071 respectively), and two different Irish Rail scheduled trains that got in my way.<\/p>\n

Gosh, bad luck!<\/p>\n

In both instances, I came away with different photos than I\u2019d set out to make.<\/p>\n

Irish Rail 073 leads Belmond’s Grand Hibernian in Dublin on 2 September 2018. An Irish Rail intercity rail car destined for Heuston Station is stopped at a red signal. Bad luck! The Belmond train was running a few minutes behind the advertised.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bright sun, fluffy clouds, elevation, all the elements for a calendar perfect image. Oh no, an ICR! Shoo shoo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Well, that didn’t work out as hoped! But then again, I have a zillion photos here anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My question: might these photos age well? Perhaps the intrusion of the ROTEM ICRs may make these photographs more interesting in years to come?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not one to get overly excited when a photo opportunity doesn\u2019t work as planned. Sometimes it\u2019s best to just keep making photos when a scene plays out.<\/p>\n

PSSSST! (I also made some sneaky 35mm slides that may make the most of both situations).<\/em><\/p>\n
