One of Northern Ireland Railway's MV class diesel locomotives hauls a special train up the bank towards the former Monkstown station. NIR bought 6 redundant 201 class locomotives from CIE in 1985-87 for use on internal freight and permanent way duties. Some saw little work and all were withdrawn by August 1995.
