Volk's Electric Railway (VER) is a narrow gauge heritage railway that runs along a length of the seafront of the English seaside resort of Brighton. It was built by Magnus Volk, the first section being completed in August 1883, and is the oldest operational electric railway in the world, though it was not the first electric railway to be built. It was preceded by electrification of Miller's line in 1875, Werner von Siemens' 1879 demonstration line in Berlin and by the Gross-Lichterfelde Tramway of 1881, although none of these remain in operation.

  • Volk's Electric Railway är världens äldsta elektriska järnväg som fortfarande är i drift. Järnvägen, som invigdes 1883, är smalspårig (spårvidd 825 millimeter) och går parallellt med stranden i Brighton i södra England. Linjen som är idag 1,6 kilometer lång, har tre stationer och trafikeras enbart sommartid. Linjen var den första av två elektriska järnvägar som den brittiske ingenjören Magnus Volk byggde i Brighton vid slutet av 1800-talet. (sv)
