Police have issued an urgent safety reminder following an alert over children playing on the Larne to Belfast railway line.
The incident occurred in the Downshire/Kilroot area outside Carrickfergus on Saturday evening.
Passengers were advised of a delay in the service while trains were stopped until the area was cleared.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Please, please speak to your children and make them aware of the dangers of playing on train tracks. The consequences of a slip don’t bear thinking about.”
