When jhb171 senior started work on the GSR, serious problems were encountered along the coast hetween Dublin and Wicklow, leading to major repair work having to be dive in a number of locations. He used this experience to do exactly the same type of work along the Carrickfergus - Larne lobe of the NCC.

Railway photographer on his rounds looking for a good shot most likely……. hurricanemk1c maybe? :D

 

Driver lucky not to have a spinal injury or drown in that

Water was a good bit higher when it happened than it might appear by the time those pictures were taken - a very near miss, certainly.
