In Pictures: Thousands flock to Stradbally as 59th National Steam Rally proves a huge success

Steam Rally 2023 Main

The National Steam Rally, the most anticipated event in the calendar of steam and vintage shows throughout Ireland, took place over the Bank Holiday Weekend.

It was a weekend filled with nostalgia, excitement, and entertainment for the entire family.

To kick off the celebrations, the event began with a grand Steam and Vintage Parade through Stradbally town on Saturday.

The National Steam Rally proudly boasts the distinction of being the only Steam Rally and Steam Railway on the island of Ireland and the British Isles to have successfully transitioned to a 100% renewable biomass product, thanks to Arigna Fuels in Ireland.

And the train was in full flow over the weekend with its carriages packed for trips around Stradbally Hall.

This was the 59th edition of the events and plans are already in place for the 60th one next year.

Photographer Ross Molloy was present at the Steam Rally over the weekend and captured some brilliant images.
