| Abstract: | Il-Ferrovija jew il-Vapur tal-Art kellha l-bidu tagħha fl-1870 meta J. Scott Tucker issuġerixxa Ferrovija għal Malta. Malta kienet waħda mill-aħħar postijiet fl-Ewropa li kellha dan is-servizz. Ġiet iffurmata kumpanija privata, Malta Railway Company, li bniet u ħaddmet il-ferrovija. Is-servizz ġie inawgurat fit-28 ta' Frar 1883 u kienet tibda mill-Belt u tasal sa taħt ir-Rabat (Notabile). Fl-1890 il-kumpanija falliet u l-Gvern ħa l-ferrovija taħt idejh, wara intervent miċ-Chief Secretary tal-Gvern Gerald Strickland. Wara li s-servizz ġie modernizzat, il-ferrovija reġgħet bdiet taħdem fit-2 ta' Jannar 1893 u baqgħet taħdem sal-bidu tal-1931. Wara kompetizzjoni ħarxa mit-tramm u l-karozzi, il-ferrovija spiċċat fix-xejn. |
