Giant's Causeway Tramway

The terminus beside Portrush Railway Station, 1890s

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+14 miles (14.9 km) long, was hailed at its opening as "the first long electric tramway in the world".[1] The Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway today operates diesel and steam tourist trains over part of the Tramway's former course.
