Geocache Description:

Down The Line is a series of caches to mark the Belfast to Bangor Stretch of the Belfast and County Down Railway (BCDR).
 


 
The Belfast and County Down Railway (BCDR) was a railway in Northern Ireland linking Belfast south - eastwards into County Down. It was built in the 19th century.
On the 2nd August 1848 with the first section of the line from Belfast to Holywood opened to passenger traffic for the first time. Later this line would extend to Bangor and the main line would run from Belfast to Newcastle, with branches to Donaghadee, Ballynahinch and Ardglass.
It was later absorbed into the Ulster Transport Authority in 1948 and all but the line from Belfast to Bangor was closed in 1950.
 

 
The line was originally single track and the only passing loop was at Craigavad so Cultra station would have had only one platform. However, the BCDR took over the BH&BR in 1884 and doubled the track between 1897 and 1902, from which time Cultra has had two platforms. In deference to Cultra's wealthy residents the footbridge between the platforms had a roof — the only bridge so equipped on the B&CDR network.

The cache is a micro with an outter camo. Please replace carefully with everything put back in (you'll know what I mean when you see it). Please note, you don't need to take anything apart to access the container.
