One of the very old memories of Tramore was the old steam engine going from Waterford Manor Street Station, known as Railway Square to Tramore Railway Square.  The Tramore Railway line was opened in september the 15th 1853 an unusual railway as it was not connected to any other railway network in the country,  it took 15 minutes to get from Tramore to Waterford. The first day it opened more than 10,000 people came to view the train.    There are still traces of its existance in many parts of the town.  The Waterford and Tramore Railway was one of Waterford's five Railways.
