Bleach Green

[citation needed] Bleach Green railway station opened in 1925 and closed in 1977.

Today no trace remains of the halt, though the Larne-bound platform survived until the Antrim line was re-opened on 10th June 2001.

There is a viaduct located at Bleach Green, which was completed in 1933 to allow trains to run between Belfast York Road Station and Ballymena without having to reverse at Greenisland (then Carrickfergus Junction).

It was designed by Freeman Wills Crofts, shortly before he retired from Engineering to become a full time author.

The viaduct was repainted and the junction relaid in 2001 for the reopening of the railway line between Belfast and Antrim.
