The Railway End
The Railway End is so called due to it backing directly onto the Belfast-Larne railway line. However no halt or station has been built and as a result it is accessed from St Vincent Street.
The small uncovered terrace was laid to steps in the early 1950s but The need for development was highlighted in the mid-2000s when the perimeter exterior wall partially collapsed in a storm.
A small elevated viewing lounge for vips and invited guests of the club, with a small tuck shop located underneath once stood at the end of the terrace but this was demolished in May 2011 as part of a major redevelopment of the ground that saw a new 650 all seated stand erected. New turnstiles were also put in place from the St Vincent Street entrance and a disabled section was added. This too was opened on the night of the Fulham game.
There is also a burger bar regularly located in the concourse before the stand.

Famous quotes containing the word railway:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
