On the 12th of August, 2023, 071 Class number 086 was employed to haul an usual set of wagons to Limerick. These wagons in particular haven't seen revenue-earning service for over 5 years.
The Pocket wagons (also known as "CPWs") were introduced to traffic in 2001, mainly used on Dublin-Cork and Dublin-Limerick container trains. These wagons allow the carriage of 9ft 6in high 'Hi-Cube' containers in Ireland. They became the domain of the DFDS liner until it ceased operation on the 5th of June, 2018.
In 2021 & 2022 the pocket wagons were transferred around from Waterford to Inchicore, and later North Wall. This year, they are to be returned to traffic to enable extra container trains operate between Ballina and Waterford for XPO. The remaining CPWs will also be refurbished at Limerick Works. The transfer in this video shows the second batch of 7 pocket wagons going to Limerick Works from North Wall freight yard in Dublin.
