A Proposed Heritage Steam Railway (With a Difference) for Northern Ireland

SaintfieldtoBallynahinchandCrossgar

The Proposal To restore a portion of the former Belfast & County Down Railway to something as close as possible to its original condition! But with a twist in the tail!

The Proposal Phase 1 - Restoration of Ballynahinch Junction Station. Phase 2 – Ballynahinch Junction to Ballynahinch. Phase 3 – Ballynahinch Junction to Rowallane Gardens. Phase 4 – Ballynahinch Junction to Crossgar. But not necessarily in that order

Why This portion of the Belfast & County Down Railway?

Approximately 80% of the population of Northern Ireland live within 50 miles of Ballynahinch

The line will have centres of population at each terminus! It is proposed to link to Rowallane Gardens, the HQ of the National Trust! It is easily accessible from all directions. The route is all intact! It offers a portion of a main line, as well as a typical Irish branch line!

Phase 4 Ballynahinch Junction toCrossgar

The Main Line Ballynahinch Junction to Crossgar

Crossgar Station

What Is the twist in the tail?

The Trust has chosen to use the British and International track gauge of 4’ 8 1 / 2 ” rather than the standard Irish track gauge of 5’ 3”. What is the significance of that decision?

Locomotives and Rolling Stock. We will not have to compete with other Irish preservation groups. A wider variety of locomotives and rolling stock will be available. This will be the only line in Ireland that will be able operate some of the famous engines from the UK mainland! Can you imagine the tourism potential?

Former L.M.S. Class 3F 0-6-0T Could we bring one to the ‘Junction? Two of these engines were brought to Belfast and re-gauged in What is possible?

Great Western Railway ‘City of Truro’ Held the world speed record for steam in its day.

Everyone knows ‘Flying Scotsman’ Could it find its way to Ballynahinch Junction in a few years?

The Ballynahinch Branch Diesel Locomotive. Could we build a replica in the long term?

Original B.& C.D.R. Carriage No. 18. Using chassis from the UK mainland it would be possible to restore one or two former B. & C.D.R. carriages.

The same carriage – stored by the Trust for restoration.

Community Involvement Is essential!  Saintfield  Ballynahinch  Crossgar

A Planning Application has been lodged for Phase 1. The Development of Ballynahinch Junction Station
