The Bushmill and Giants Causeway Railway has been relaid on the easternmost end of a tramway closed in 1949, using equipment from the Shanes Castle Railway. On my visit the loco in use was Shane, formerly Bord na Mona No.3, built by Andrew Barclay of Kilmarnock in 1949. View of the terminus with carriage and loco shed. 5 August 2008.
