Шаблон:Infobox UK legislation The line was authorised by the Derry Central Railway Act 1877 (40 & 41 Vict. c. cxii), and constructed from Macfin Junction (between Coleraine and Ballymoney) to Magherafelt, serving Maghera, Upperlands, Kilrea, Garvagh and Aghadowey. Although nominally independent, the line was funded by the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway.

In September 1901 it was taken over by the Northern Counties Committee for the sum of £85,000.[1]

Rosgarran Bridge Once Spanned The Railway

In 1936 there were two trains a day from Belfast to Coleraine via this line and one other train from Magherafelt to Coleraine, consisting of two coaches and a 2-4-0 compound engine. The track had flat bottomed rails, followed the contour of the land and the only large structure was a lattice girder bridge over the River Bann near Macfin.

Nowadays long after the railways closure and the tracks lifted there are still stations at every town and 8 bridges that once spanned the line still intact.[2]
