Of the 22,000 acres 12,000 was set aside to cover the costs of the railway. The major engineering feature on the line is the two Downhill tunnels. Construction of which began in June 1846. The blasting of the tunnels the longest of which is at 275 metres long the longest in Ireland attracted a crowd of up to 12,000. The blasting of the tunnels took 3600 lbs of gunpowder. When the tunnel was complete a banquet for 500 people was held in the tunnel, the event became known locally as the Great Blast.

The order for these locos was for six however before delivery one was sent to Dublin for the International Dublin Exhibition of 1853, where it was sold to the Newry and Enniskillen Railway and thus never worked on the line. These engines were unsuitable for a line the size of the Londonderry & Coleraine Railway being under powered and unstable. Being outside cylinder locos they were unstable at speed and one lurched off the track in 1855 resulting in one fatality. As such a common practise was to couple two engines back to back. The 0-4-2 was built in 1859 by

The railways of the UTA suffered neglect from government as a result many MPDs were (as were the earlier MEDs) constructed from older coach bodies and frames. Originally these railcars used 275 hp (205 kW)

Eventually the BNCR agreed to buyout the L&CR completely in 1871, ending the line's existence as an independent company. This was not the end of the railway as it would continue to form part of the mainline between
Belfast and Londonderry for the BNCR and its successors. The BNCR invested in the line and constructed a

Today there are four stations on the line, Londonderry, Bellarena, Castlerock and

When the line opened between
Londonderry and Limavady in 1852, construction work towards Coleraine started four miles from Limavady station. When the line opened in 1853 this required trains going to Coleraine via Limavady to reverse onto the mainline. Thus a junction station was constructed in 1852

The L&CR struggled with financial difficulties and from 1861 leased their line to the growing
