On March 8, 2014, photographer Dennis McCabe and I followed this Bord na Mona empty train compass west from the Edenderry Power Station to this rural level crossing near the village of Daingean, Co. Offaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train was one of two heading out on the bog to a comparatively remote loading site to collect peat for delivery to the power station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had scoped out this location on an earlier trip, and at the time I was delighted to catch a train movement at this obscure location on the Irish Bord na Mona narrow gauge network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are two variations of the same photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One was right out of my Lumix LX3, the other involves cropping the foreground and sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
