No. 103 "Merlin", a member of Northern Ireland Railways' unsuccessful 101 class of diesel locomotives, pushes the 08.25 Belfast (Central) - Portrush passenger service through the remains of Drumsough station. Once a much larger site, the station was known as Cookstown Junction and served the former branch to Cookstown until that closed in 1959. Many buildings were eradicated by NIR in the late 1960s, when the railway was re-aligned and the basic wooden platforms renamed Drumsough. This remote station finally closed in 1976.
