My penultimate post for 2018 that features Ireland’s 201-class diesels focuses on locomotive number 233\u2014second to last in the series (201-234).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent times this has worn the minimalist ‘raccoon’ livery, while for a number of years it wore the older Enterprise scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these views of 233 in the Dublin area over the last three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been featuring the Irish Rail 201 diesels as part of my 20 years in Ireland photography retrospective. I started with the class leader number 201, and have progressed sequentially. Take a wild guess as to which locomotive I’ll conclude the series! (This is not a trick question. You don’t need to consult a crystal ball or take a class in advanced mathematics.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
