Train at Monkstown station

On the left can be seen the junction with the former "back line" to Greenisland, once part of the main line from Belfast to Londonderry but displaced in 1934 with the opening of a more direct route over Bleach Green viaduct. The "back line" officially closed on 1 October 1963.
