Railway
From 1922 to 1937, there was a worked industrial railway, which connected the Koules in Heraklion Xiropotamos, for the construction of the harbor.
The 2000 study has been idle for 2 lines for the tram Heraklion, from which the first would link the Cretan Stadium to the airport and the second center of Heraklion and Knossos.
In the summer of 2007, Congress of Cretan emigrants, held in Heraklion, two qualified Engineers, George Nathenas and Vassilis Economopoulos recommend the development of railways in Crete, Chania, Rethymnon path-Heraklion at 50 minutes (30 minutes 20) and with provision for extensions to Kissamos, Kastelli Pediados new Airport and San Nicholas.

Famous quotes containing the word railway:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
