Although only mounting a 550hp English Electric 4SRKT diesel engine, the UTA built 70-class DEMUs were capable of prodigious haulage feats. The rostered steam locomotive having failed, care of a return "Portrush Flyer" from Portrush to Belfast was entrusted to single 70-class power car No. 73 "River Roe", which is seen - in fast failing light - approaching Spencestown level crossing south of Ballymena.
