On the 20th of August 2022, brand new railtour operator Tailte Tours ran their first tour, the "Premier Rose", from Dublin - Killarney/Tralee & return. The tour was an extremely rare opportunity to see a Mk4 set off the Cork mainline, departing from Connolly in this case, and a chance for loco haulage on the Tralee line. I went to Dublin Connolly to see this rare event, and an added bonus with the Enterprise arriving just beside the tour, which allowed for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to photograph the last 2 loco-hauled trains in Ireland, side by side.

The video starts off with a look at the Mk4 set, and 201 loco. Then the aforementioned Enterprise set arrives, and the tour departs. The video then ends with the Enterprise set departing 10 minutes later.
