Alderney Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alderney Railway in Alderney is the only working railway in the Channel Islands.
It opened in 1847 and runs for about two miles, mostly following a coastal route, to Mannez Quarry and Lighthouse.
The current stock is former London Underground 1959 Tube Stock cars nos. 1044 and 1045, a Vulcan Drewry 0-4-0 diesel locomotive no. D100 'Elizabeth', a Ruston Hornsby 0-4-0 diesel 'Molly II' and six Wickham rail cars. 'Molly II' is currently awaiting modification to her coupler system, so she can haul the London Underground stock. However, this cannot happen at the moment due to the fact she is not yet owned by the Alderney Railway company.
