Over a 21 year period, the Irish Traction Group operated 45 railtours. Regrettably, these ceased when the cost of running the tours became prohibitive, and the ITG working members focused on locomotive restoration, operation and maintenance instead.
The table below lists all railtours that were operated by the Irish Traction Group and its trading subsidiary, ITG Railtours Limited, together with a list of each locomotive to have worked the tour. Other events such as diesel galas are also included.
