Not one of my better photographs but the subject is of interest. On a day when the Civil Engineer’s Department had absolute possession of the down line, MV locomotive no 106 is propelling a single wagon of sleepers along the up line. Re-sleepering of the up line was underway near Cloghan. The train is passing Kilroot salt mine.
