Found this whilst browsing for info on the Guess the British Station Game. Is it a couple of derailed wagons with their load spilt onto the tracks, or possibly a train carrying new railway gravel, or nothing at all and a blurry picture.
Any ideas?

Nice to be back on the snazzy new TT-Forums

Well there is no freight in Northern Ireland so it must be an infrastructure train and that must be ballast.

Isn't there a restored steam railway around there? I'm sure there was a documentary on the BBC about it recently.
Confusious say "Man with one altimeter always know height. Man with two altimeters never certain."

There is the Downpatrick and Co. Down Railway at Downpatrick, well worth a visit as its the one place in Ireland where 5' 3 gauge steam trains run regularly (as far as I'm aware).
