2019, I set up in Drumcondra along the Royal Canal on Dublin\u2019s north side to photograph trains working the Newcomen Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally the visually intriguing Newcomen line trackage is only lightly used during midday with most moves scheduled for weekday rush hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Irish Rail typically routes trains on the parallel double-track line via Drumcondra Station; however on the weekend of 23-24 March 2019 works on that line resulted in diversions to the Newcomen Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made these views using my FujiFilm XT1 digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
