The civil engineer’s department had absolute possession of the down line between Lisburn and Moira for relaying. The MV class locomotive was hauling a “Donelli” train of track panels (sections of rail attached to sleepers ready to be laid and welded as continuous welded rail). Single-line working was in operation over the up line (right). The line on the left is the single line from Antrim Image This was in the days before health and safety regulations – railway staff either nodded a greeting or ignored you completely.
