- There are a number of heritage railways in Northern Ireland, reflecting Ireland's long railway history. Some of the primary sites include:
* The Downpatrick & Co Down Railway in County Down is located on part of the former Belfast & County Down Railway. Two and a half miles track has been relaid to Inch Abbey on the old route to Belfast, and a further one mile laid along the old route to Newcastle. It operates with preserved steam and diesel locomotives and vintage wooden carriages.
* The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland headquarters, in Whitehead, County Antrim. A large selection of steam locomotives and preserved rolling stock can be seen. Although there is not an actual heritage railway in Whitehead, there is a museum, and there are regular railtours with the preserved stock running to various destinations in Ireland.
* The Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway on the north coast in County Antrim. Steam-powered services run from the Giant's Causeway to Bushmills. Laid on part of the course of the original Giant's Causeway Tramway which was electric-powered, with its own hydroelectric plant – the first such system in the world.
* The Foyle Valley Railway, in County Londonderry. The project has faced some difficulties (and is closed), but does hold a quantity of preserved railway stock, on part of one of Derry city's closed railway routes (the city once had four stations). [1] (en)
