Ballycastle and its Railway Station by Mal McMichael
Mal McMichael is a local historian who has made a fascinating photographic study of Ballycastle Railway station, from long before it opened to the present day. His presentation looks at the way the station evolved over the 70 years of working life, why it struggled to be profitable and the inevitable closure. He shows lots of trains arriving and departing plus shunting, of course. He touches on the role of the railway line in the social life, economy and the development of the town. He also looks at some industrial archaeology and some interesting railway related sidetracks.
