Publisher's Note The Isle of Man pioneered an unusual array of railways and tramways. Some were seasonal only, but others were important to residents as well as to tourists. Though some of the systems have vanished, a surprise number remain, almost unaltered from the Victorian era. The narrow-gauge steam railway, the horse-drawn tramcars in Douglas, the electric tramway to Ramsey, the unique Snaefell Mountain Railway and the Groudle Glen miniature railway have all passed their centenary in recent years. In about 300 photographs this book covers all the surviving systems as well as those which have long since disappeared.
