I was still new to the concept of digital imagery on 22 April 2010 when I made these views with my old Lumix LX3 of an Irish Rail ballast train running around at Platform 10 at Dublin’s Heuston Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This view from the top of the Phoenix Park Tunnel was just a short walk from my old apartment at Islandbridge. The dust in the air was the result of a volcanic eruption in Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old four-wheel ballast wagons were nearing the end of their days in permanent-way traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just a few days, I hope to be able to make a modern day view from this Irish vantage point. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
