Vintage railways
The Islands' mix of vintage electric trams, horse trams and steam railways is truly unique in the world and something every visitor should see. Each of these Isle of Man Transport services end within walking distance of the next, allowing you to travel from the south of the island to the north with ease.
These run along the narrow guage line from Port Erin to Douglas stopping at Port St Mary, Colby, Ballabeg, Castletown, Ballasalla, Santon and Douglas with request stops located in rural areas.
These 'toast racks', as they are lovingly named by locals, make their way up the Douglas promenade, beginning at the Sea Terminal and ending up at the Electric Railway station.
The electric railway follows the coast from the northern end of Douglas promenade to the northern-most town of Ramsey.
This extension to the electric railway winds its way up Snaefell from the town of Laxey right the way to the Summit Cafe at the highest point on the island.
