Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Dublin and Kingstown Railway, which opened in 1834, was Ireland's first railway. It linked Westland Row in Dublin with Kingstown Harbour's West Pier in County Dublin. The Dublin and Kingstown Railway Company was founded in 1831 by businessmen in the city to look into building a railway. Within two years, they had a contractor and a parliamentary act. The construction contract was awarded to William Dargan.
