History
The line was built between 1881 and 1883, a short single-track branch line 8 miles (13 km) in length, to connect Magherafelt and Draperstown. The engineer was John Lanyon, and the contractors were J & W Grainger.
It was operated by the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway and taken over by them in July 1895.[1]
Passenger services were withdrawn in 1930 and the line was finally closed in 1950.

gollark: apioioctlomacronoform.
gollark: Still, at least this gets the bitrate down by a factor of 7.
gollark: *4* dropped frames? I sure do hope they aren't important.
gollark: You know, I didn't notice at the time, but the image from LyricLy from Olivia is *weirdly* high-resolution.
