General Motors Diesel in Ireland.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Irish<\/a>
Irish Rail class 181 General Motors diesel number 185 catches the sun at Claremorris, County Mayo in February 1998. Exposed on Fujichrome with a Nikon F3T fitted with 24mm lens, exposure calculated with a handheld Sekonic Studio Deluxe photocell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was among my first Irish Railway photographs. I\u2019d hired a car in Limerick and was exploring. At the time I knew very little about Irish Rail, but I was fascinated by the Ballina branch passenger train.<\/p>\n

What caught my interest here was the juxtaposition of the General Motors diesel with the Claremorris station sign. It was the name of the town in Irish that fascinated me. I also liked the old Irish Rail logo, which seemed to represent the double junction at Claremorrris.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never have imagined then, that this would just one of the thousands of Irish railway photographs I\u2019d expose over the next 16 years!<\/p>\n
