Rails (and locomotives) around Downpatrick, 2003-11

Found these..... 

The first few show the hard work that goes on behind the scenes in all weathers, year round.

The last two show restoration work which is the less obvious, less glamorous but absolutely necessary work that also has to be done.

I was doing guard this day, so the second two are Noel-esque shots, as the train approaches Tara..... I mean, Downpatrick North Junction.

A family affair; Nephew-the-Elder was firing LPHC No. 3.
 

I took the first two on an earlier date.
