The Cyprus Railway was a narrow gauge (2’ 6”) railway network which was in operation from October 1905 to December 1951, called the Cyprus Government Railway (CGR). There were a total of 39 stations, stops and halts along the 37 mile route from Famagusta in the east to Evrychou in the west. It was built in 4 sections, with the original railway running from Famagusta Port to Nicosia, with section II from Nicosia to Guzelyurt (Morphou) opening in 1907 and sections III and IV as an extension to the railway from Guzelyurt to Evrychou opening in 1915 to serve the Cyprus Mining Corporation (CMC).
There were 12 steam trains which used the line during its operational years, all of which were made in England by either the Hunslet Engine Company or Nasmyth Wilson and Company.
