RPSI 071 Class double Header ''West Awake'' Railtour

This was a double header 071 class railtour which went from Dublin Connolly - Claremorris - Ballina - Claremorris - Westport - Claremorris - Dublin Connolly. The last double header 071 class railtour was the Munster Double in October 2017 which was run by 071 & 073 which are in the old CIE orange & black livery. This time the West Awake was run by 075 & 082 which are in the grey livery and ran the Dublin Connolly - Claremorris and Claremorris - Dublin Connolly leg of the tour and 071 ran the Claremorris - Ballina - Claremorris - Westport - Claremorris leg of the tour. 082 is one of the best 071 locomotives and makes a loud roaring noise so it was great being behind 082 and hearing it roar down the line which is the kind of performance a modern train like the 22000 class could never do so locomotives have great engines.
