EDITORS COMMENTS
Ballycastle Station and Narrow-Gauge Railway: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere at Ballycastle Station in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, during the early 1900s. The narrow-gauge railway, a vital mode of transportation in this region, is represented by the steam train Countess of Antrim, which stands proudly at the platform, emitting thick plumes of smoke from its chimney. The train's front side is adorned with ornate details, from the intricately designed engine to the wooden panels and brass accents. The steam engine's power is palpable, as it waits to transport passengers to their destinations. A crowd of people gathers at the station, some waving and others eagerly boarding the train. A young boy, dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers, gazes intently at the train, his eyes filled with wonder and excitement. The station's platform, paved with cobblestones and lined with wooden benches, is a hive of activity, as travelers prepare for their journeys. Ballycastle Station and the narrow-gauge railway played a crucial role in connecting the rural communities of County Antrim to the larger towns and cities. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of steam trains, bustling stations, and the simple joy of travel.
