“The Emerald Isle Explorer” Steam Train in Millstreet on Saturday

On Saturday morning (18th June 2016) quite a number of families arrived at Millstreet Railway Station to catch a fleeting glance of “The Emerald Isle Explorer” Steam Train as it passed by on its way to Killarney.   Passengers comprised mainly of real rail enthusiasts on a Steam Train holiday.  Thankfully the weather was ideal to view the historic visit.  Click on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)16Emerald Isle Explorer Steam Train in Millstreet 2016 -600
