Clipperstown: Clipperstown is on the Belfast - Larne line and serves the western side of Carrickfergus. It was opened in April 1925 by the LMS who had acquired the Northern Counties Committee at the 1923 Grouping and this shot dates from 1969. At that time steam was still in everyday use in Northern Ireland, mainly on the stone trains which ran from Magheramorne to the Belfast area in connection with major construction work and were operated with a 'Jeep' 2-6-4T at each end. In the photo is a train of empties heading north.
