===Rail=== A train service to [[Killarney|Killarney railway station]], and via [[Mallow railway station|Mallow]] to [[Cork railway station|Cork]] and [[Dublin Heuston|Dublin]] is provided by the national railway operator [[Iarnród Éireann]]. From the Dublin-Cork line, there are connecting trains at [[Limerick Junction]] for [[Limerick railway station|Limerick]], [[Clonmel railway station|Clonmel]] and [[Waterford railway station|Waterford]]. Further links are available at Limerick to [[Ennis railway station|Ennis]], [[Athenry railway station|Athenry]], [[Oranmore railway station|Oranmore]], and [[Galway railway station|Galway]]. The current [[Tralee railway station]], Casement station named after [[Roger Casement]], was opened on 18 July 1859.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tralee station|work=Railscot – Irish Railways|url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf|access-date=4 September 2007|archive-date=26 September 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926042407/http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> There were also two other adjacent stations, now closed and demolished, in the North Circular Road area. One was the terminus of the "North Kerry" line which ran to [[Limerick railway station|Limerick]] via [[Listowel]] and [[Newcastle West]], and the other was the terminus of the narrow gauge [[Tralee and Dingle Light Railway]]. The [[Tralee and Dingle Light Railway]] was once one of Europe's most western railways. It opened on 31 March 1891, connecting Tralee and Dingle by rail along the Dingle Peninsula, and was closed in June 1953. In 1993 a 3 km section was reopened as a preserved line between the Aquadome in Tralee and Blennerville Windmill. Currently this railway is no longer in operation. A standard gauge railway used to operate to [[Fenit]] Harbour from Tralee, diverging from the North Kerry line to the northwest of the town, before closing in June 1978. Currently a section of this railway has been restored as a walk/cycle way<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.traleefenitgreenway.com/| title = Tralee – Fenit Greenway – A safe, healthy and sustainable amenity for locals and tourists alike| access-date = 18 May 2018| archive-date = 18 May 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180518201151/http://www.traleefenitgreenway.com/| url-status = dead}}</ref> in the Tralee urban area and it is hoped in the future that this will be extended to Fenit, similar along the lines of the [[Great Southern Trail]] which has been created on the closed North Kerry line route in western County Limerick.
