Bailey’s Bay to Flatts

From Bailey’s Bay the railway line continued along the North Shore. At Shelly Bay a racecourse provided a regular destination for Bermuda Railway special trains. The line then continued to Aquarium station, where visitors could descend to visit the Government Aquarium at Flatts, or go on to other tourist destinations.
