Lealt Valley Diatomite Railway
text:
The Lealt Valley Diatomite Railway was a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge tramway on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, which ran parallel with the River Lealt. Work was underway to lay the tramway in March 1889. At the opening, the line was worked by gravity – the line being on a falling gradient – and manpower. Later, the line began the use of a steam locomotive. The western end of the line was at Loch Cuithir, where diatomite - known locally as Cailc - was taken out from the lochbed and dried on wire nets
