Weed-spraying train at Mossley
Once each year it was customary for NIR to borrow the CIE weed-spraying train -usually complete with CIE locomotive. This was the one of the highlights of the year for enthusiasts. The train is seen passing the long-closed station at Mossley Image (not the same as today’s Mossley West) bound for Belfast York Road and Larne Harbour.

Mossley station (old)
One of NIR's ancient MPD sets passes the closed Mossley station with the 10.55 Londonderry - York Road passenger train. This station, which closed in 1965, had staggered platforms on either side of a typical LMS (NCC) concrete overbridge, which dated from 1931. A new Mossley station has since opened to the west of this location.
