The Age of Steam

The age of steam returned to Dundalk today with a visit from engine 461.
Built in Manchester in 1922, the engine was retired in 1965.
It now belongs to the Irish Railway Preservation Society and has been restored to the 1949 livery of dark green, black and red.

Do they just run it on special occasions or does it run some sort of regular route

As trains go you can't beat a steam one. Excellent shot.

Excellent shot of this steam Loco. The billowing smoke is very well captured, fine colors also. V
