	In 1994 a freshly painted 141 was captured with this train of cement bubbles at Drogheda. The cutting side to the right of the picture was completely removed when the railcar servicing facility was built in 2004.  Photo by B Pickup
	In more recent times, 141 was repainted into the "three pin plug" livery she is seen wearing here. Seen here south of Mosney and in company with 175 she is probably returning to Connolly for refuelling. Photo by B Pickup
