An acceptance ride for GM Diesel and Irish Rail from Dublin to Cork on Class 201 #213. Want to thank the Driver for his hospitality and guidance during the trip. Notes from trip.... investigate the noise heard from the suspension and aim that badly aligned headlight that shows up in the tunnel.

Tony was a master of his craft, a true railwayman. May he RIP

One of the best videos on U-tube because it was taken in a time when it was possible to travel in with the driver. Wonderful to see if from the drivers angle. May Tony Renehan now rest in peace and be rewarded for the great job he did over many years.

Tony was a great Railway Man and a wealth on knowledge. A gentleman in and out of the job.

Great video with the late Tony Renehan . The bogie noise is quite evident , it was terrible for a long time and they seem better now. Soundproofing was put in the cabs after a time.

How short the platforms in Portarlington, among others, were back then. No such thing as push/pull locomotive option either for that train. Track speed was so much slower and all those level crossings have been removed. Now this line is going to be prepared for 200km/h speeds with works starting next year. We're starting to have the bones of a first class rail network. Great to look back at how things were.

Would much prefer a two tone horn, as the sound could be interpreted as a truck.

It's unfortunate that it's so hard to hear what they are saying. I don't say that as a criticism though, merely an observation.
