My attention to detail may seem absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Irish Rail’s Rotem-built 22K series InterCity Railcars (ICRs) were new, they briefly carried set numbers in a painted round circle on the right front above the coupler and adjacent to the headlights. This has been called the ‘green golfball.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This identification practice was frowned upon and most of the circles were removed after a few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set 7 survived longer than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the evening of December 31, 2009, I made a visit to ‘The Box’ overlooking the wall at Islandbridge Junction in Dublin, where I made this image of ICR set 7 in dramatic winter light using my then new Lumix LX3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, I found this photo while searching for something else obscure and thought it would make for an interesting Tracking the Light post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
