About Old Harbour
Iceland has no railways, although there have been two small locomotive hauled narrow-gauge railways in the past. The main reasons for the lack of railways are the small population outside the capital region and the availability of automobile, bus, and air transportation for inter-city travel.

The main reasons for the lack of railways are the small population outside the capital region and the availability of automobile, bus, and air transportation for inter-city travel. A 900 mm narrow-gauge railway was used for the construction of the Reykjavík harbour from 1913 to 1928 and was occasionally used for other freight transport during its operation. In the 2000s, a diesel-hauled narrow-gauge railway was used during the construction of the Kárahnjúkar hydropower project.
