The 1647 Belfast Great Victoria Street to Carrickfergus departing Belfast City Hospital railway halt at 1652. The train is an NIR Class 450 diesel multiple unit (DMU) powered by 8453 'Moiry Castle'. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDWUUrDyKCE for a video of the same train departing Carrickfergus which gives a good indication of the speed, noise and smoke that is produced from one of these 25 year old beasts. The lucky commuters on the Larne line have a few more years to wait until civilisation catches up with them.
