	Irish Traction Group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The Irish Traction Group (ITG) was formed on the 4th June 1989 with the objective of preserving at least one example of each class of diesel locomotive to have operated on the Irish railway system.
		The ultimate aim of the Group is to restore its collection of locomotives to full operational condition.
		The ITG owns the largest number of privately owned diesel locomotives in Ireland and operates railtours in Ireland at least twice a year.

	Diesel Resources & Information - bio diesel
		Diesel fuel is a specific fractional diesel generator distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and perfected diesel cars by Charles F. Kettering.
		Diesel is produced from petroleum, diesel and is sometimes called petrodiesel toyota diesel when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources.
		Packard diesel fuel diesel motors were used in aircraft as early as 1927, and Charles Lindbergh flew a Stinson SM1B with a Packard Diesel in 1928.

	Diesel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diesel or Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used as fuel in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel.
		Diesel is produced from petroleum, and is sometimes called petrodiesel (or, less seriously, dinodiesel) when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources such as vegidiesel (biodiesel) derived from pure (SVO) or recycled waste (WVO) vegetable oil.
		Diesel is generally simpler to refine than gasoline and often costs less (although price fluctuations often mean that the inverse is true; for example, the cost of diesel traditionally rises during colder months as demand for heating oil, which is refined much the same way, rises).

	Diesel locomotives of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since all the locomotives were in fact numbered in series, the letter prefix to the number was later dropped (in 1972), as was the allocation of numbers according to power.
		The S was to indicate that the locomotive had been fitted with CAWS (Continuous Automatic Warning System) to warn the driver of the aspect of the next signal.
		Locomotives which hadn't been fitted with CAWS had restrictions imposed on their use until it was fitted.

	Diesel - Engineering
		Diesel or Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used as fuel in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel[[1]].
		Diesel is produced from petroleum, and is sometimes called petrodiesel (or, less seriously, dinodiesel) when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources.
		This untaxed diesel is also dyed red for identification purposes, and should a person be found to be using this untaxed diesel fuel for a typically taxed purpose (such as "over-the-road", or driving use), the user can be fined $10,000 USD on the spot.

		The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland based in Whitehead, County Antrim is the main preservation group, with the Irish Traction Group preserving diesel locomotives.
		Ireland as a whole was still part of the United Kingdom, with direct rule from Westminster as a result of the Act of Union.
		Railways in the Republic were converted to diesel locomotives early, and swiftly, due to the run down nature of many steam engines, lack of coal, and desire for modernisation.

	Take Action: Make a Difference by Cleaning Up Dirty Diesel Locomotive and Marine Engines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Diesel locomotives and marine engines (boats, inland freighters, ferries, tugs and pleasure craft) are among the largest and most dangerous under-regulated sources of air pollution.
		Locomotive and marine diesel emissions are estimated to cause 4,000 premature deaths annually, as well as some 2,000 annual ER visits for children with asthma attacks.
		Locomotive and marine diesel engines are a major source of air pollution.

		There is a story that on one line some locomotives were altered from tender engines to tank engines, and that the brakes of this type, which were on the tenders, had disappeared in the process of alteration.
		Central Ireland is served by the sections and branches of the Great Southern system, which extends from Cavan in the north to mid-Tipperary in the south, and from the Boyne in the east to the Shannon in the west.
		This locomotive was exhibited at the Railway Centenary Celebrations at Stockton and Darlington in 1925.

		His report, published before the end of the year, suggested that the use of large main line diesel locomotives in Ireland was unwarranted and that their introduction would not be the answer to CIÉ's problems.
		He recommended that the size of the locomotive fleet be reduced by 100 and that by judicious selection of locomotives for scrapping the number of classes in the fleet could be substantially reduced.
		At that time General Motors were only selling complete locomotives and would not supply engines on their own and, as a result, two of the C Class were fitted with Maybach 980 h.p.

	S.I. No. 3/1952: COAL MINES (DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES) GENERAL REGULATIONS, 1952.
		Provided that where any locomotive in use at the date aforesaid had before that date been equipped with a headlight, that locomotive may, with the consent of an Inspector, be used as so equipped.
		The driver of a diesel locomotive shall not leave it unattended away from the place where it is housed when not in use, unless he has ensured that it cannot be set in motion by any unauthorised person
		A diesel locomotive shall be deemed to have a defect liable to affect its safe running if gas from its exhaust is found to contain more than two parts of carbon monoxide, or one part of oxides of nitrogen, per thousand.

	Informat.io on Diesel
		Petro Diesel is considered to be a fuel oil and is about 18% denser than gasoline.
		In contrast, the United States has long had "dirtier" diesel, although more stringent emission standards have been adopted with the transition to ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) occurring in 2006 (see also diesel exhaust).
		This untaxed diesel is also dyed red for identification purposes, and should a person be found to be using this untaxed diesel fuel for a typically taxed purpose (such as "over-the-road", or driving use), the user can be fined US$10,000 on the spot.

	Ireland 1992
		We then walked via the locomotive running shed to where a various collection of withdrawn locomotives had accumulated and also where wholesale scrapping had started on the A and C class locomotives that used to form the Inchicore Barrier.
		Alongside the line of locomotives being broken up was a row of sheeted G.M. engines from scrapped locos - I assume these will be a source of spares or possibly used to uprate the 121 class.
		Owing to the failure of two of N.I.R.'s class III diesels the 13.00 had been worked in by an Irish Rail loco on loan and it was anticipated that this same loco would work the train back - we thought.

	Diesel Dawn: Ireland's contribution to the development of the DMU 1931-1967 - Transport Centre, Colourpoint Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		This book is 100% diesel and begins with a look at the pre-war and early post-war single unit railcars developed by the NCC, UTA, GNR, SLNCR, CDRJC and others, comparing them with similar units in Britain.
		The development of DMU railcars in Ireland (up to 1967) is then examined in detail, with chapters on the GNR/CIE AEC railcars of 1950-55, the UTA AEC and MED units of 1951-54, the GNR BUTs of 1957-58, the UTA MPDS of 1957-62 and the 70 class DEMUs of 1966-67.
		In the middle of the book there are fascinating chapters on the UTA/GNR complete dieselisation proposals of 1952 (including drawings of some of the locomotive types proposed by North British, English Electric, BUT and Metro-Vick), the Harlandic diesel locomotives and on the cross-fertilisation between early BR DMUs and the Irish examples.

		Indeed she may even have been built there illegally since in that same year, the independent locomotive builders successfully obtained a court injunction against the LNWR to prevent it building locomotives for the LandYR and thereby muscling in on the independent builders' business.
		However as the locomotive proved to be in good condition and as we were subsequently and unexpectedly offered a supply of spare parts by Irish Rail, the locomotive was put into operational condition by our volunteers.
