For the first time in its history, the Railways began to make a profit.
Horse-drawn public railways did not begin until the early years of the 19th century.
It was opened in 1924 when the normal railed railway began.
The railway began being built in 1846 and was completed in 1848.
The railway began to operate trains during 1972 and was officially opened in 1977.
The growth in tourist numbers continued into the age of the motor car, when railways began to be closed or run down.
In 2003 the railway began the process of installing a satellite based telecommunications system.
Some railways, however, began to grow faster than others, often taking over smaller lines to expand their own.
By the end of the 1960s, however, the railway began to show signs of old age and wear.
Both lines of track were complete by 15 December 1834, on which date the railway began to take goods traffic.
