Heuston Station Pilot. Now a thing of the past today we find 181 Class no. 190 acting as station pilot, busying itself in moving empty coaching stock around. With the later introduction of push-pull and multiple unit train working the function of station pilot disappeared. This loco didn't, though. It went on to be preserved by the Irish Traction Group and resides in storage out west at Moyasta.
