Isle of Man Railway Isle of Man Railway The Isle of Man Railway (IMR) () is a narrow gauge steam-operated railway connecting Douglas with Castletown and Port Erin. The line is narrow gauge and long. It is the remainder of what was a much larger network (over ) that also served the western town of Peel, the northern town of Ramsey and the small mining village of Foxdale. Now in government ownership, it uses original rolling stock and locomotives and there are few concessions to modernity. The line from Douglas to Port Erin is the last remaining line of the former Isle of Man
The Story of the Isle of Man The Story of the Isle of Man The Story of the Isle of Man is a 1901 book on the history of the Isle of Man by A.W. Moore. It was written as an introduction to Manx history, specifically for children. The book was written at a time of a growing sense of Manx national identity, greatly due to the work of A. W. Moore himself. For want of any existing rigorous and sustained history of the Isle of Man, he wrote "A History of the Isle of Man", which was published in 1900 in two volumes (reaching 989 pages).
