Although there is not an actual heritage railway in Whitehead, there is a museum, and there are regular railtours with the preserved stock running to various destinations in Ireland.
* The Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway on the north coast in County Antrim. Steam-powered services run from the Giant's Causeway to Bushmills. Laid on part of the course of the original Giant's Causeway Tramway which was electric-powered, with its own hydroelectric plant – the first such system in the world.
* The Foyle Valley Railway, in County Londonderry. The project has faced some difficulties (and is closed), but does hold a quantity of preserved railway stock, on part of one of Derry city's closed railway routes (the city once had four stations). [1] (en)
