  • Foyle Valley Railway is the name of two previous narrow gauge railways in Derry which used rolling stock from the former County Donegal Railways Joint Committee. The first (1975–1978) consisted of 300 metres of track at Victoria Road station. The second (1993–c.2000) stretched approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south-west from the museum building on Foyle Road. The current owners of the museum have tentative plans to reopen the railway.
  • Shane's Castle Railway was a tourist railway in the grounds of the castle which used preserved narrow gauge steam locomotives. It was 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and operated between 1971 and 1995.
  • Kings Road Railway was operated by William McCormick in the 1960s and 70s in his back garden in Knock, Belfast using a former industrial narrow gauge steam locomotive.[1]
