The very name of the Tralee and Dingle Railway is enough to evoke considerable emotions whether stemming from the immensely beautiful Dingle Peninsula itself or the wonderfully friendly Kerry folk or the raw courage of those who built the Railway through some of the wildest Irish countryside and then struggled for half a century to keep the line running...

Thirty one miles of narrow gauge railway left Tralee - the county town of Co Kerry - striking westwards into the Dingle peninsula, crossing the Slieve Mish mountains at Glenagalt and on past Annascaul to Dingle itself. A short extension dropped down to Dingle Pier - the most westerly railhead in Europe.
