Often I have a pretty good idea what’s on the program. Yet, sometimes when traveling, I come across completely unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for me this was a surprise: The Linmag Railgrinder at Banteer, County Cork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s back up: last week it was dull and drizzly. I was traveling by road with Ken Fox in rural north county Cork. As we approached Irish Rail\u2019s Banteer Station, one of the railway\u2019s smaller halts, I spotted this Linmag rail grinder in the sidings east of the station platforms,\u00a0\u00a0I said, \u2018whoa! Stop the Car!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken found it amusing, when I leapt out, cameras in hand, to photograph this interesting rail maintenance equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irish Rail doesn\u2019t own its own modern rail grinder so it contracts Linmag to profile its rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these views using my FujiFilm XT1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
