Irelandscapes | Rail Track Night Workers, Bangor Line NIR (N Irish railway working scenes) @Irelandscapes | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 26 minutes ago.
We often see these guys out after midnight on the tracks at various stages along the Belfast to Bangor route. Always cheery and getting stuck in to the job at hand. It's a nocturnal role in the dead of night when there is hardly a person about to see them and appreciate their work. But we do! By 6AM that morning the work is complete and thousands of commuters gather at their respective home stations for the trip to their offices, unaware of the work carried out by small gangs of track workers in the inky black of the wee small hours.
