Several weeks ago, Irish Rail released one of its 29000-series suburban railcars in a fresh new two-tone green and yellow livery.<\/p>\n

My initial haphazard attempts at finding this train on the move were unsuccessful. However, on April 21, 2014, I got lucky.<\/p>\n

I was riding Railway Preservation Society of Ireland\u2019s Easter Eggspress <\/em>led by steam locomotive 461, when at Wicklow, our train was overtaken by an Easter Monday \u2018relief\u2019 from Connolly to Gorey worked by set 0129117 (formerly 29117) in the new livery!<\/p>\n

Armed with this knowledge, I consulted my operations expert for advice on when the train would return to Dublin.<\/p>\n

After the Easter Eggspress<\/em> arrived back in Dublin, I made my way over to Platform 6. Here I scored these views of the freshly painted train that arrived about 15 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Soft early evening sun made for nearly perfect lighting conditions. After the train discharged its passengers, it worked back over the Loop Line toward Pearse Station and the old Boston sidings.<\/p>\n

I always like to catch a new livery as soon as I can; Before it gets dirty,\u00a0before someone decides to change it.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow: Railway Preservation Society of Ireland\u2019s Easter Eggspress!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
