MWR Quote:

Live out your Thomas the Tank Engine childhood dreams on the Steam Railway. The best part is that this is one of the primary modes of transport around the isle - which has been running since 1873. For a modest fare you can go from the south (Port Erin) of the isle to the north (Ramsey). Beautifully and caringly preserved, you are transported back in time. Sitting in a charming carriage with all the original features. It’s slow travel at its best.

Tip: It can get busy (especially with day visitors from big ocean liners) and there are limited carriages - so choose where you start your journey. Port Erin was ideal as it is the start and end of the line in the south of the isle.
