Railway milepost, Cullybackey (1)
Milepost 36¼, on the up side of the single line, close to the Ballymena side of Cullybackey North level crossing. Mileposts are usually on the down side. Their original purpose was to calculate charges in the days when railways were common carriers (ie legally obliged to accept all goods offered). Now they serve to advise drivers of operation matters such as “contractor working between mileposts XX and XX¼”.
Image shows the original cast version on the other side of the line.

Cullybackey Station
Cullybackey Station opened 01-07-1856, closed 10-1976, only to reopen in 1982.
At the time this photo was made, the main building was in private ownership, and as far as I know, it still is today.
