Alderney Railway, Heritage railway in Alderney, Channel Islands.
The railway stretches for 3 kilometers between Braye Road station in Saint Anne and Mannez Quarry station near the Alderney lighthouse.
The railway, established in 1847, transported stones from island quarries to the harbor for breakwater construction under Admiralty instructions.
The railway remains a central element of island life, maintained by local volunteers who operate services during summer weekends and holidays.
Passengers can travel aboard two repurposed London Underground carriages with aluminum bodies, numbered 1044 and 1045, acquired in 2001.
The railway experienced a gauge change during World War II when German forces replaced the standard 1435mm track with a 600mm portable railway system.
