This is the second of two books which look at the narrow gauge railways on the island of Ireland. The book looks at the lines in the northern part of Ireland, summarised as "The Ulster Lines". Volume 2 gives a concise history of 8 narrow gauge railway systems: * The Clogher Valley Railway * The Narrow Gauge in Co. Antrim * The Giant's Causeway Tramway * The Portstewart Tramway * The Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway * The County Donegal Railways * The Bessbrook & Newry Tramway * The Castlederg and Victoria Bridge Tramway Two appendices on industrial railways and modern day preservation complete the work. Each chapter contains a reproduction of the historic OS maps for the relevant line, which is invaluable in tracing the modern day location of these former lines. As ever, most photographs are of trains and not infrastructure.
