THE Railway Preservation Society of Ireland has released details of ‘The Sligo Leitrim’ diesel tour on April 22, which will see the first loco-hauled passenger train visit Sligo since September 2017, marking the first time an IE GM 201 Class has hauled a train to Sligo beyond Longford and the first to M3 Parkway.
The tour departs from Dublin Connolly and proceeds to M3 Parkway where the 201 locomotives will unhook. An 071 Class locomotive will then return the train to Docklands.
