Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway - History
Initially planned as the Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly Railway Company when an application for incorporation was filed in 1852 after spurning the construction of a canal network to connect the two lakes, the company opened its first line, a standard gauge link between Derry and Farland Point on December 31, 1863. A branch line to Buncrana followed in 1864, with much of the Farland Point link being closed in 1866. An extension to Letterkenny was constructed in 1883, and the network was converted to narrow gauge in 1885.
Carndonagh was served by an extension constructed in 1901 and Burtonport in 1903. These two lines were constructed as joint ventures with the British Government, with ownership and liabilities shared between the two parties.
During this period the company did not turn a profit, and struggled to meet its debts.
