In the realms of the rarely seen on the move, Irish Rail\u2019s bogie spoil train is one of the rarest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By luck I\u2019d spotted this train running toward Dublin\u2019s North Wall on Wednesday 6 March 2019. And as it happened, the crew was taking train to the yard to swap one set for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patience on my part yielded this view of the train returning from the North Wall. As seen from my standard location at Islandbridge Junction in Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line: it helps to live near the tracks, but it also helps to sit tight when something unusual and unscheduled is on the prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
