Railway bridge that carries the Thornhill Rd over the Belfast to Dublin mainline. An unusual fact about this bridge is, it's only rated to carry 16 Tons across the span. It may well have something to do with the fact that the centre span was constructed using old 60 foot flat-bottom rails, cased in concrete, instead of the usual construction of reinforced concrete.
