Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway

The new railway uses equipment originally assembled by Lord O’Neill for a tourist line at Shane's Castle, Country Antrim, which closed in 1994.

On 10 July 2010 the railway took delivery of a specially customised 4 coach diesel multiple unit capable of accommodating up to 90 passengers.

Commissioning of the new rolling stock by the manufacturers began on Monday 12 July with the inaugural journey three days later.

The upper station, just below the Causeway Hotel, has a single platform and passenger, locomotive and carriage facilities, all built in traditional style for the line, which departs towards Bushfoot Strand down a gradient which is sufficient to make the engines 'bark' on their return.

It then follows the ancient sand dune system until it meets the River Bush where a newly installed bridge carries the line across.
