The NIR usually hired a weed spraying train from the CIE. in 1975 the weed control train was unavailable. NIR experimented with a somewhat 'Heath-Robinson' arrangement which consisted of water-tanks mounted on a bogie flat-wagon and manual spraying. In this view the train is seen with NIR diesel hydraulic locomotive No. 3 at the head.

By this time, the wooden platform fencing had been replaced by rather stark looking, galvanised steel railings, a feature that appeared on other stations that were reopened. The stone building to the left of the view was the former goods shed. Photo by Alan Young Click here to see more photos
