A telephoto view looking through the arch of a stone bridge over a canal at a blue steam train approaching in the distance. The edges of canal barges moored in front of the bridge frame the right of the scene.

A peek at former #GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion through Pike Bridge at the Duke's Harbour on the #RoyalCanal at the entrance to #CartonHouse pulling the last steam-hauled #RPSI Santa Special of the 2025 season out of #Maynooth.

A wide landscape shot looking out over a canal as it cuts through a rural scene from an elevated point-of-view. On the left side of the canal it widens into a quay with three barges tied up, and a two-track railway line runs along the right bank. A blue steam locomotive approaches on the track furthest from the water pulling a burgundy brake van and a rake of blue and cream carriages. The sky above is overcast with light grey clouds.

A wide landscape view looking down a long straight section of a rural canal with a paved towpath on the near bank and a railway line on the far bank. The canal appears from a vanishing point in the right background and exits the frame in the bottom left corner. A blue steam loco is approaching with a rake of cream and blue carriages. The loco is running ‘backwards’ with its coal tender leading and chimney trailing. A cloud of clean white steam trails behind over the carriages. Bare tree branches frame both and the edges of the top of the scene, and the sky overhead is light grey and overcast.

A telephoto view of a blue steam loco pulling a rake of cream and blue carriages along the banks of a rural canal lined with big bare trees. The line runs parallel to the canal along the far bank, and there is a paved greenway also running parallel in the near bank, all three have their vanishing point in the right background and cross diagonally to the left foreground. There is a cloud of clean white steam swirling from the chimney and blowing across the canal onto the towpath. The sky above is light grey and overcast.

As the wind picks up the steam from former #GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion swirls down and onto the #RoyalCanal towpath east of #Maynooth as she pulls an #RPSI Santa Special back towards Dublin tender-fist. Thankfully she was running clean, smelled like an open fire when it hit me 🙂

A square view of a back-lit blue steam locomotive with red running boards reflected in the water of a canal as a big head of steam issues from the chimney and stands out against a clouded sky.

A black and white square telephoto view of a steak locomotive with a nice head of steam pulling vintage carriages around a sharp turn curving from the left mid-ground to the right foreground. The line is on the fade bank of a canal, with the left foreground dominated by a paved towpath. The sky above is overcast with parallel lines of clouds.

A shot of a paved towpath, a canal, and a railway line curving from the right foreground to the left background with the silhouette of a steam locomotive and train approaching on the far bank set against a mostly clouded hazy sky with lots of fine detail in the clouds, and a hint of blue in the least hazy parts.

I chose to this sharp turn in the railway line and #RoyalCanal at #Leixlip Louisa Bridge station because it's only usable when the weather is overcast or you'll have the sun against you, and the forecast was overcast. When #RPSI #steamLoco No.171 arrived, so did the sun, so I chose a silhouette!

A wide landscape view of a blue steam locomotive pulling a rake of cream and blue vintage carriages across the scene from the vanishing point in the right background towards the left foreground. The engine is running ‘backwards’ with its coal tender leading and chimney trailing. A big cloud of mostly white steam is billowing high into the sky from the chimney and trailing behind. The line runs parallel to a canal with a paved towpath which dominate the foreground, and the sky overhead is overcast and grey.

A telephoto view of the front of a steam locomotive appearing from behind a line of bare trees as it rounds a distant bend. The foreground shows a strip of water, and the sky is overcast and grey.

A telephoto view of a blue steam loco with tender pulling a burgundy brake van and a rake of blue and cream vintage coaches, only the first half of the first of which is visible. There is a clean white cloud of steam streaming back from the front of the loco. The edge of a field with round hay bales is visible in the foreground, and a line of big bare trees dominates the background.

A landscape shot looking out across a field with round hay bales with a bright blue steam loco pulling a burgundy brake van and a rake of cream and blue vintage coaches behind the bales in front of a line of large bare trees under a blue sky. The loco is trailing a cloud of clean white steam over the carriages.

It turns out just one of the twelve 2025 #RPSI Santa Specials would be blessed with some winter sun, but former #GNRi 4-4-0 #steamLoco No. 171 Slieve Gullion sure looked great rounding the corner at Intel in #Leixlip yesterday morning!

A landscape view of a blue steam train with a big head of clean white steam pulling a burgundy brake van and a rake of blue and cream vintage carriages along the far bank of a rural canal. A few bare trees with plenty of ivy on their trunks separate the railway and the canal. Both are gently curving into view from left to right. The sky overhead is a dull grey and there are rain drops visible on the water.

A portrait-oriented telephoto front-on view of a steam train with a big head of steam and a red name board framed between bare trees covered in green ivy leaves with a sliver of water in the foreground speckled with big raindrops. The line runs straight at the camera and then turns right in front of the train.

A wide landscape view of a blue steam engine running ‘backwards’ pulling a rake of cream and blue vintage carriages along the far bank of a rural canal. The big cloud of steam is clean and white and blends into a monotone grey sky above. There is a gravel path on the near-bank of the canal, and the path, canal, and railway all curve to the left as they vanish into the distance. Bare trees line the canal and the path.

A wide-screen landscape shot of a bright blue steam locomotive with a tender pulling a rake of cream and blue vintage carriages along the far bank of a rural canal. The train has a powerful head of clean white steam which trails behind over the top of the carriages. The canal is mirror smooth apart from some raindrops, and the sky above is a flat even grey. A gravel path runs along the near side of the canal, and trees line the scene.

Since completing those three Jigsaw Puzzles, I’ll always have to look for the Mouse whenever I see one of Terence Cuneo’s paintings…
