Summary[edit]

Description
English: Freight train at Downhill - 1979
Built by the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA) 1966-68, the eight 70-class DEMUs were used by the UTA and its successor Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) for both passenger and freight haulage. Their most notable working was the evening Monday - Friday freight service from Londonderry (Waterside) to Lisburn, operated on behalf of CIE whose own locomotives would then take the train on to Dublin. Headed by No. 71 "River Bush", the train is about to enter Downhill tunnel on its way to Lisburn via Antrim and Knockmore Junction. With improved roads in Donegal and Sligo, this service simply petered-out in the 1980s. For a 1977 view of this working, see: C7436 : Freight train at Downhill - 1977.
