THE CAMPBELTOWN & MACHRIHANISH LIGHT RAILWAY.

The Campbeltown & Machrihanish Light Railway was built in 1905 and ran for 4.5 miles from the port of Campbeltown to the village of Machrihanish largely along the line of a colliery tramway built in 1876. Coal was the main traffic and for some years the railway was successful but by 1932 it was in debt and the railway closed in November 1932 and was dismantled in 1933.

    A humourous but highly innacurate representation of the railway. The artist had evidently never seen even a photograph of it!
