Last Sunday, I spent several hours photographing NI Railways and Enterprise trains at Moira, a station on the old Great Northern Railway\u2019s Belfast-Dublin route.<\/p>\n

The attractions of this location include a preserved signal cabin and a footbridge at the Dublin-end. Another benefit is the level crossing with a local road at the Dublin end. The barriers protecting the road drop 3-4 minutes before trains pass, which provides ample warning to prepare for photography.<\/p>\n

This is especially helpful if you are sitting in a car nearby trying to edit texts and photos for a book on deadline.<\/p>\n
