Скачать или смотреть NIR 201 Class Locos 208 & 209 at Portadown. 19/1/23 (Dedicated to the late Noel Playfair)

NIR 201 Class Loco 209 is seen at Portadown hauling failed sister loco 208 to Dublin.
On this movement 209 was carrying a wreath in memory of the late Noel Playfair which was the last loco he drove. This is a lovely tribute to such a dedicated railwayman.

On Monday 16th January one of NIR's longest serving & best known drivers + Belfast Steam Driver Noel Playfair sadly passed away suddenly.
Noel was a gentleman and a railway legend who showed so much dedication to the railway and also to the RPSI spending many years on the footplate driving the societies trains in Belfast & Dublin Noel was very well known by many north & south he was a true railwayman and will be dearly missed by everyone in the NIR & RPSI family.
It was a pleasure to know him.
I would like to offer my deepest condolences to his family at this difficult time.
