Causeway Tram rolls again at Ballywillan
Steering members through the fascinating story of the Giant’s Causeway, Portrush and Bush Valley Railway and Tramway Company Limited was Portrush historian John Moore who enlivened his talk with an ingeniously designed power-point presentation.
This included a typical tram journey along the coastal track, based on contemporary photographs. Vividly brought to life was the experience enjoyed by yesterday’s day trippers as they sat in open carriages which meandered along the cliff edge with the sea a mere 60 and 70 feet below them!
