Did you know what there are very rarely more than 4 steam locomotives in operational condition at once in Ireland? There are currently 3.

We were so close to getting CC1 and GNR 207... But some spares of the former are still floating around at Whitehead etc.

Ireland as a whole was very unsentimental when it came to disposing of steam. CIE simply didn't have enough cash to keep a steam fleet going, and UTA saw road transport as the future. Will there ever be a new-build Irish steam engine?
