'The Harcourt Street Line' Website gives an illustrated account of one of
Ireland's first railways which ran from Dublin to Bray from 1854-1958.

Railway enthusiasts may be interested in the 'trains' page. It details
technical information about the various engines used on the railway, from
the early irish-built steam locomotives to the drumm battery trains.

Former passengers and employees were interviewed and provide previously
unrecorded, first hand accounts of the railway.

Other aspects of the railway covered are its construction, opening, trains,
accidents, stations, engineer (William Dargan) and closure.

Created by secondary school students at St. Mary's College, Dublin, this
website won first place in the Trinity College National 'Spin-a-Web'
competition for web design in secondary schools.
