Eleven foot sleepers along the B&ML grade at Waldo bog.

Just beyond Waldo Station some eight miles inland from Belfast the B&ML's route takes it through swampy bog land. To accomplish this safely this stretch of rail is laid on double length sleepers (approximately 11 feet long) which literally "float" the road over the bogs.
