The sun came out just as three trains converged upon Islandbridge Junction. The first was an ICR that emerged from the Phoenix Park Tunnel and stopped across from Platform 10. The second was an ICR heading toward the tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the down IWT liner emerged from the tunnel weaved  around both ICRs on its way through the junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it helps to be in place at the best spot and just wait out the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exposed in April 2022 using a Lumix LX7 digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
