One of NIR's 101 class diesel locomotives pauses at the then disused Kingsbog Junction signal cabin as the guard closes the level crossing gates. This was once the junction for a branch line to Ballyclare, closed on 3 July 1950. While the railway line has since reopened, the signal cabin now resides at Downpatrick on the Downpatrick Steam Railway.
