The Bellevue Park Railway, which closed in 1950, operated in Bellevue, Belfast.

History

[edit]

Bellevue Park was a popular recreational facility between the two world wars, providing gardens, ponds, amusements, refreshments, a zoo, and a 15 in (381 mm) gauge miniature railway for the entertainment of visitors. The Bellevue Park Railway, which received a new locomotive and carriages in 1933 from Blackpool, closed in 1950. The locomotive, a German-built 0-4-0 tender engine named 'Jean', was sold for scrap, but having been rescued by Sir William McAlpine eventually returned to its original railway, the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch RailwayinKent,[1] under its original name, 'The Bug'.[2]
