Why is it in Location Hunters? Sure it's Adelaide Yard in Belfast. There is a new traincare facility there now.

The locomotive in the foreground (no. 187) was built in 1913 and was withdrawn from service some time in the 5 years after this photo.

Great shot of the shunting yard, great to see working steam engines.

Interesting detail: looking through the window of the 3rd loco, I think I see the Red Hand logo of the Ulster Transportation Authority, which was only formed in May 1958, a year or so before this shot. The earlier GNR logo had a smaller Red Hand, surrounded by castles, a ship, a skeleton (?) etc. [Edit: the skeleton is from the arms of Derry, the ship from Belfast, 3 of the castles from Dublin]

This picture is geotagged in the middle of nowhere. The East portal is under Highway 2, connecting Berne and Scenic.

See www.gnflyer.com/1924original.html The data sheet describes the Oriental Limited which was placed in service June 1, 1924 and operated until March 31, 1931. It was hailed by Great Northern as "An Aristocrat of the Rails." Beneath a copy of this photo, a caption reads, "Prior to the start of service the New Oriental Limited was displayed with the Wm Crooks and two vintage passenger cars." The train was displayed in Chicago and the other cities served, St. Paul, Spokane, Portland and Seattle. This photo is in Chicago; there is a noticeboard visible just to the right of the older train behind, reading "Chicago Great Western Freight Station. "The engine on the new train is GN Mountain 2527.
