Only one line of a once vast Steam Railway system remains on the Isle of Man. Originally built in the late 1800's the lines covered about fifty miles. Now only the southern line which runs just over 15 miles from Douglas to Port Erin remains
For most the journey begins in Douglas at the old Victorian Station. There you will find a true beginning for a railway frozen in time. As you make your way to the board, there are often two or more options of seating. An open carriage for about twenty people to sit in and first and second class carriages which are divided into sections seating about six each. There is no prior arrangements for seating. It is first come, first served. After making your selection you just have to wait for departure.
