Remains of Railway Bridge, Ballyrenan

Where the old Belfast & County Down Railway crossed over the Rann Road in Ballyhenan Townland near Annacloy. The last service train passed here on 16th January 1950. This was between Downpatrick station and Crossgar station. Although most of the bridge is gone, this line is one of the best preserved. The heavy rainfall has left a mucky ford on the road.
