aha ! a familiar stomping ground good to see it in all its older BW glory

Unusual metal guard rail at bottom - is it something to do with a tramway? Sometimes Flickr is amazing - And in May 2017

Aha! The tram - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dunluce_Castle_%26_Giant%27s_C... From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant%27s_Causeway_Tramway Edit - "...electric power ... ... was originally fed to the trains via an elevated third rail which ran alongside the line ... " Edit 2 - "The section from Bushmills to the Giant's Causeway opened on 1 July 1887. In 1895 a cyclist died of electric shock after coming into contact with the conductor rail. At the subsequent inquiry it was revealed that the line voltage varied from an average of 290 V up to 360 V, and the company agreed to a temporary reduction in the voltage, which limited the number of services that could be electrically worked. The third rail was replaced by overhead electric wire using side poles from 26 July 1899, apparently initially at 250 V."

Help! - I can't find the original of the tram version of this pic (see wiki link above) in the NLI catalogue .... please!

Hi, i'd like to know if my picture here is Dunluce Castle from a different angle? Please let me know. I snapped this shot in 2003 while on vacation. if not, please delete this shot from the thread.

Hi Karen. the photograph listed by the library is taken from the coast, facing towards Portrush and the white rocks (which can be seen in the background). Your image is taken from above the castle, facing the water,and is about 90 degrees to the left as you look at the library photo. you may be able to compare the position of the round tower in the two images. hope this helps!

Ah, so it is Dunluce! Thank you !
