Dunedin Peninsula and Ocean Beach Railway

Dunedin Peninsula and Ocean Beach Railway was a railway line in the South Island of New Zealand. Construction began in December 1875,[1] and the railway opened to Ocean Beach on 23 March 1876.[2] Extensions were later opened to Anderson's Bay, Forbury, Musselburgh and Tahora Bay.[2]

It closed in 1949, and part of it is now the Ocean Beach Railway, a heritage line.
