Reduced from once hauling the cross-border "Enterprise" passenger express, one of NIR's 101 class diesel locomotives rests between shunting duties at the Adelaide freight yard. Former site of the GNR(I) locomotive sheds for Belfast, Adelaide became a freight depot in 1972. All freight to Adelaide ceased 30 years later and the site is currently being developed as a railcar (DMU) maintenance facility - see Image
