What better way to experience the Isle of Man than by vintage ‘Railway’? Over 40 miles of lovingly restored steam and electric railway take you on an unforgettable journey to some of the most beautiful and historic places on the Island.


Groudle Glen Railway

The Groudle Glen Railway is operated entirely by volunteers and owned by the 'Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters' Association'. It is a true narrow gauge railway, originally built in the 1890's.

Horse Trams

A colourful summer sight on the Promenade since 1876, this sedate mode of transport is a testimony to Victorian engineering and endurance - and just as popular with today's visitors.

Manx Electric Railway

The Manx Electric Tramway is a unique vintage railway aged over 100 years old. Open and closed tramcars takes passengers on an unforgettable journey along the east coast from Ramsey to Douglas, via Laxey.

Snaefell Mountain Railway

Over 100 year old Electric mountain railway running from Laxey to the summit of Snaefell at 2,036ft. The line is five miles (8 km) long, built to 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) gauge and uses a Fell centre rail for braking on the steep gradients.

Steam Railway

Opened in 1874, this 3ft narrow gauge railway still runs with its original locomotives and carriages, through an ever changing countryside, to a choice of destinations in the south of the Island.
