IRS Email Contacts

The IRS is always interested to have any news about industrial and preserved locomotives and railways. If you can tell of closures, movements, sales, scrapings or other matters, we would be very glad to hear of these. For example this could be for arrivals/departures from preservation sites or locos seen in transit on the roads - any information received is useful. If you have any such news for the UK, please could you pass it on to news@irsociety.co.uk. We will try to offer what help we can in with any queries you may have on what you saw.
