For many years, Northern Ireland Railways hired the CIE/Irish Rail weed control train for a circuit of the NIR system. In 1989, the train was hauled throughout by NIR 101-class diesel locomotive No. 101 "Eagle", built by BREL in 1970 and withdrawn by NIR in 1993. Viewed entering Crumlin on the now mothballed Antrim - Lisburn line, 101 is heading for Lisburn, Portadown and Dundalk.
