101 "Eagle" pauses at Bangor West station with the 12.55 passenger service from Portadown to Bangor. Built by BREL at Doncaster and introduced to service in 1970, 101 and her two sisters 102 "Falcon" and 103 "Merlin" worked cross-border "Enterprise" passenger trains until displaced in 1981. Increasingly unreliable, they were withdrawn between 1989 and 1993 - although 102 was briefly reinstated in 2002. Only 102 "Falcon" survives, preserved in the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum at Cultra.
