Over the years, the Republic of Ireland's railways have fascinated
rail enthusiasts. This was mainly due to underinvestment in the
system from Iarnrod Eireann and the Irish government, which left
many lines and locations still very much in the past as far as
infrastructure was concerned, giving them a certain appeal to
British rail fans. This eventually changed from around 2005, when
long overdue investment began to materialise. This book documents
the last years leading up to this change. It shows the rolling
stock and infrastructure that was on offer throughout the Iarnrod
Eireann system, featuring Class 071, 121, 141, 181 and 201
American-built locomotives, various BREL-built coaches and Spanish
and Japanese-built diesel rail cars. Also featured are the many
freight services that operated in the country, including beet,
Guinness, cement, timber, lead and zinc ore and liner trains.
