Course of former mineral railway, Carnlough, Co. Antrim
This shows the course of the railway which was formerly used to convey stone from a quarry some distance away, to the harbour for export. The line was worked mostly by gravity on the counterbalance principle, but a steam locomotive was employed at the harbour end to shunt the wagons.
