Alderney has the only working railway in the Channel Islands. It was built by the British Government in the 1840s and officially opened in 1847 by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who rode on the railway in a horse-drawn tender. Its original purpose was to carry stone from the eastern end of the island to build the breakwater and the Victorian forts.
Nowadays, the old train wagons which have been replaced by two London Underground carriages and a diesel engine carry visitors from Braye Road Station to Mannez Station near the Lighthouse. From train enthusiasts to families, this historic railway provides lots of interest and entertainment.
