The C4K or Class 4000 as is the C3K or Class 3000 is a Diesel Multiple Units (DMUS) run on the national railway network which is Northern Ireland Railways .

These trains were made in Spain and sent by Ship to Belfast. The manufacturer is Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (Grupo CAF). Some of the C4K sets have recently been extended from 3 to 6 car sets. All these trains have been successfully ordered under the Northern Ireland Assembly.

The line of the Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway was constructed by William Dargan and opened on 4 December 1855, from Ballymena to Coleraine and Portrush. In January 1861, it was taken over by the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway.

The Belfast and Northern Counties Railway ran from 1860-1902. It was taken over by the Midland Railway of England as the Northern Counties Committee (NCC) The Railway Grouping in 1923 saw the NCC under the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) until the lines were nationalised in under the British Transport Comission before being sold to the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA) in 1949. In 1967 Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) ran the railway.

Ballymoney station 4 December 1855.
The station was rebuilt between 1901 and 1902 to designs by Berkeley Deane Wise in a Cottage style. The cast ironwork forming the station canopy was provided by MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry of Glasgow, and the cast iron footbridge was provided by the Sun Foundry of George Smith and Company in Glasgow. A ramped Footbridge was opened for Pedestrians and Bicycles Path was built at the station opened in 2012. The Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge was opened by Danny Kennedy MLA, Minister for Regional Development.

NI Railways, Ulsterbus and Metro (formerly Citybus in Belfast) are managed by Translink.

Narrow Gauge at Ballymoney
Ballycastle Railway which is 3 foot gauge was opened in October 1880 and ran 17 miles (27 km) from Ballymoney, on the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway (BNCR), later Northern Counties Committee (NCC) never a very profitable enterprise and closed down for a period in 1924, until rescued by the NCC, which took it over completely.

Under the terms of the Transport Act 1947 the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the NCC's parent company, was nationalised by the British Government on 1 January 1948. The NCC (and the Ballycastle Railway) was thus briefly owned by the British Transport Commission. This was only a temporary measure and in 1949 the NCC was transferred to the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA). The UTA closed the line to Ballycastle 3 July 1950.

The train is running through County Antrim.
