Lartigue Monorailway
Designed by Frenchman Charles Lartigue, this unique survivor of Victorian railway engineering operated between the town and Ballybunion on the coast. Although it no longer travels as far as Ballybunion, the renovated section of line is short (less than a kilometre) but fascinating, with manual turntables at either end for swinging the train around.

Steam Railway & Lee Valley Eco Park
Between 1891 and 1953 a narrow-gauge steam railway connected Tralee with Dingle. A 3km Tralee-Blennerville section has been restored and will run through the new, 25-acre Lee Valley Eco Park, which was being developed at the time of research, and will have walking and cycling trails, a wildlife area, fish-stocked lake and an ecoconscious visitor centre. The railway is expected to reopen in mid-2012 – check with the tourist office for updates.
