The forecast had been for rain. And rain it did, as it often does in the Irish Midlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Jay Monaghan and I had been exploring Bord na Mona\u2019s narrow gauge network centered on the Lough Rea generating station, but had taken a break to photograph Irish Rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spied clearing in the afternoon sky, so resumed pursuit of the narrow gauge. Soon we found a pair of empty trains returning to the bog for loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the level crossing in Derraghmore, County Longford the clouds parted and we made sunny images of the diminutive trains as these crossed the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
