Trains and Railways
from a glass negative, Bushmills Railway Station, now closed, the train
- The Giant's Causeway Tramway, operated by the Giant's Causeway,
Portrush and Bush Valley Railway & Tramway Company Ltd, was a pioneering 3
ft (914 mm) narrow gauge electric railway operating between Portrush and the
Giant's Causeway on the coast of County
Antrim, Northern Ireland. The line, 9 1⁄4 miles (14.9 km) long, was hailed
at its opening as "the first long electric tramway in the world". The
Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway today operates diesel and steam
tourist trains over part of the Tramway’s former course. -
