On August 25, 2013, I traveled behind 2-6-0 461 on the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland’s<\/a> The Marble City<\/em> that ran from Dublin’s Connolly Station to Kilkenny and back via Athy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At various stops along the way, I made digital photos using my old Canon EOS7D with a 28-135mm lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I’ve previously published some of these photos on Tracking the Light, for this post I’ve re-edited my selection and made a variety of up-to-day post processing adjustments using Adobe Lightroom, which I didn’t use back in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard to believe this was ten years ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
