Joe was joined on Tuesday morning by Mike Collins of the Downpatrick and County Down Railway.
The railway is based on part of the old Main Line of the Belfast and County Down Railway which closed back in Jan 1950. A fun afternoon trip to Inch Abbey and the whistle of stream trains awaits visitors over the summer months, click here to visit their site.
