DH and passenger train, Bleach Green Jct near Whiteabbey
The six-coupled “DH” class locomotives were intended for shunting and hauling permanent-way trains. On this occasion (due to relaying and re-signalling at Belfast York Road station) no 2 was used to haul the “Portrush Flyer” steam train, over the short distance between Greenisland and Bleach Green Jct. The train is coming off the up Larne line at Bleach Green.
