Description

First published in 1964, this new edition retains the original text but has been redesigned with new (old) photographs added. In his preface, the author recalls his childhood experiences of riding the toast racks on this narrow gauge railway from Bushmills to Portrush and of how a lecture he was to give in 1948 spurred him to talk to the tram crews and managers and how this then led him on to further research. The book comprises eleven chapters covering the early days, operation, the First World War, the \"difficult years\" between the wars, the Second World War, and the few final years of operation. Cumulative lack of maintenance meant that by 1949 the track was in very poor condition. Eight appendices tell more of the story.
