We thought about traveling to Derry, but it was a dreary day and we had evening plans, so instead I suggested we take the train toward Bangor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, no, we were not in Maine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Kris and I traveled from Belfast Great Victoria Street Station aboard an NI Railways train, and got off the train at Cultra to visit the Ulster Transportation Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum has some of the finest preserved railway exhibits in Ireland, (and these will be the subjects of a future post.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcast lighting makes atmospheric images at Cultra easier than on a bright sunny day. Oh, wait, have I ever visited Cultra on a bright sunny day??!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these images near the NI Railways station at Cultra using my Lumix LX7 and Nikon Z7-II digital cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old railway station building at Cultra makes for a nice prop, but the building is no longer serves the railway and has no modern affiliation with NI Railways nor any connection to the trains that stop here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
