Railway Preservation Society of Ireland - Dublin Operations

The RPSI is a voluntary organisation running vintage steam and diesel trains from Dublin with carriages restored by its own volunteers. Interested?

Since 1988, our Dublin Area Operations Committee have overseen a regular program of long and short haul steam trips out of Dublin to various provincial locations. A dedicated team of volunteers are involved in a range of tasks from crewing our operations to behind the scenes maintenance and restoration at Inchicore and Mullingar. We're always on the lookout for more volunteers. We'd love to hear from you! Just drop us a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Another fine morning for the Santa Steam Polar Express to Maynooth. Taken at St Brendan's Road in Drumcondra, with Robert Jolley at the helm, opening 131 up as she got the green!! She is a fantastic loco to watch and listen to in action! The 'commentary' behind me about pollution was more tongue in cheek by the neighbour, for the amusement of his young visitors!!
