Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Weed control train approaching Crumlin (1975)
With the CIE weed control train unavailable in 1975, Northern Ireland Railways experimented with a somewhat "Heath-Robinson" arrangement which consisted of water-tanks mounted on a bogie flat-wagon and manual spraying. This contraption is seen approaching Crumlin with NIR diesel hydraulic locomotive No. 3 at the head. The three DH locomotives were built by English Electric in 1969 and were all withdrawn in 1989, although they had not worked for some years. Amazingly, all survive - although two are now in industrial use in Sri Lanka. Another view of the weed control train may be found: J1667 : Weed control train leaving Ballinderry (1975).
