Snaefell Summit
Exhibition
With breathtaking views outside the windows, it's hard to
concentrate on the display of historical memorabilia which describe the
inception and completion of this, the oldest operating mountain railway in the
world. The whole process from start to finish took some seven months to
complete and used the steam loco Caledonia in a third rail to haul building
materials to the summit. |

Ramsey Visitor
Centre
This intriguing Visitor Centre provides information about the
Manx Electric Railway and is situated at the station in Ramsey. There is no
better way of experiencing the reality of electric tram history than to step
aboard original cars No1 and No 2 and travel the parallel lines through the
timeless Manx countryside. |

Photographic vantage

The railways of the Isle of Man offer many spectacular and
