Work started on rebuilding the railway in 1985 , with trains finally running in the town again in December 1987 . Track has been relayed on nearly 4 miles of Belfast And County Down Railway trackbed, and a one mile extension south to the hamlet of Ballydugan has been proposed. The railway began life as the Downpatrick & Ardglass Railway, as the original intention was to extend the railway to this fishing port on the south coast of County Down. This name was dropped in 1996 following the abandonment of this proposal and the railway was renamed the Downpatrick Railway Museum until 2005 when the new name, Downpatrick & County Down Railway was adopted following the opening of the Inch Abbey extension.
