Old railway bridge near Dundrum
This bridge (between the old road to Newcastle (background) and the present road J3934 : The Newcastle road, Dundrum (behind me)) carried the Belfast and County Down line from Belfast to Newcastle (closed 1950). Newcastle is to the left. J3935 : Old railway and new footbridge, Dundrum (May 2013) shows the new footbridge built as part of the conversion of the old railway to a public path.
The Belfast and County Down Railway



The Belfast and County Down Railway ran from Queen’s Quay station in Belfast to Castlewellan via Comber, Downpatrick and Newcastle. There were also lines from Comber to Donaghadee via Newtownards, Belfast to Bangor and branches from Ballynahinch Jct to Ballynahinch and Downpatrick to Ardglass. The lines opened between 1848 and 1892. All closed by 1950 except for Castlewellan – Newcastle which survived until 1955 as part of the GNR(I) route from Belfast via Banbridge and the Bangor line which remains open but from Belfast Central.
