Carrickfergus Carrickfergus ( , meaning " Fergus' rock") is a large town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits on the north shore of Belfast Lough, from Belfast. The town had a population of 27,998 at the 2011 Census. It is County Antrim's oldest t ...
in Northern Ireland. At one time it formed part of a tight cluster of stations, each located one minute from the other. The station itself was a semi-private halt serving the local Courtaulds nylon factory. It closed in 1977 when Northern Ireland Railways services were cut back, though the factory remained open until the 1990s. Due to track re-laying and maintenance work, most traces of the platforms are gone. However, the site of the station is still visible, as the now-abandoned path from the factory premises to the station site still exists, and is easily noticed by virtue of a tarmac area with metal fencing and the old station lamp posts.
