No railways in Iceland

A short line ran into Reykjavik from a quarry at Okjuhlio between 1913 and 1928. It was used in the construction of the breakwaters at the port.

One of the two surviving 1890s, Jung-built, 900 mm narrow gauge steam locomotives, Minor, is on display at the dockside, mounted on a short section of rail.

Though I would not normally be drawn to a country with no railways, Iceland has many other attractions, including active volcanoes [one due to blow shortly, we were told], geysers, dramatic waterfalls, relatively recent lava flows, glaciers, hot springs and a rift valley between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates - so something for everyone, as long as you like physical geography.
