| This collection is going to be used to do a photographic survey of the railway in Balbriggan over the years. Some defining moments include the derailment of 123 with a Mk. 3 push-pull train, the replacement of the 'County Bridge' along with the upgrading of the line.
Over time I also hope to include the different types of trains that have served Balbriggan. 2008 also saw two different movemensts of DART units to Drogheda through Balbriggan. |

Date unknown on this picture but appears to be 149. It is in the Irish Rail livery which puts it post 1987 but I would imagine that it is not much past 1987 for the coaches are still in CIE livery. 1136x816 149.jpg 1987-01-01 00:00:00 |
