THE MALTA RAILWAY 1883 - 1931

      MALTA RAILWAY 1892 MAP   

There is no longer a Railway in Malta, it closed down in 1931 mainly due to the introduction of Trams and Motor Buses, but it is still possible to find visible traces of the railway here and there. The Malta Railway opened in 1883 and ran from Valletta to Notabile close to Rabat and Mdina. The line was extended in 1900 through a tunnel under Mdina from Notabile to Museum Station near Mtarfa. This page shows you what there is still to be seen in Malta. Each time we have a holiday in Malta we try to find another part of the old railway. There is a list with details of the 10 Steam Locomotives.
