I know there was some general celebration stuff during the summer when DLR sponsored a few steam trains, but nothing on the day itself . . . that's a bit poor.

Why are you surprised? In 1984 - the 150th anniversary of Ireland's 1st railway all CIE could manage was to come up with a name for the celebrations - Traen 150 and that was all they did. No events, no special train, no commemorative publication - no nothing - a company truly devoid of any shred of imagination.
