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

    Entrance to Adelaide Station is here

    The locomotive in the foreground (no. 187) was built in 1913 and was withdrawn from service some time in the 5 years after this photo.
  • Robert Foster said:
    Great shot of the shunting yard, great to see working steam engines.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    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]

Beetles, points and Foynes.

    5 November 1968 was a Tuesday . . . Can we blame Guy Fawkes?!

    Might be some bit of marshalling kit, what with the looped chain in the middle and the row of wheel ratchets on the rail.
  • derangedlemur said:
    It doesn't line up with the map very well. Maybe if it was flipped, though it's still not great even then. There may be some map between the Cassini and the modern that we need.
