Ballabeg tram station Ballabeg tram station Ballabeg Station is a rural intermediate request stop on the coastal route of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man with a small station house constructed in 1905. The station can be found between Onchan and Laxey on the island's eastern coast. It serves the small hamlet of Ballabeg; it is on the main coast road between Douglas and Ramsey. In 1905 a small hut (the "station house") was built here in typical style from corrugated iron with a pitched roof, and painted in standard green livery. After some years of neglect this was restored
Ballabeg Ballabeg derives from the Manx which means small homestead; although the spelling is different, it is pronounced approximately the same as the English name. Nearby is the "Ball and Bag", a free house which was built by Sir David Mark Jordan, a Victorian army captain who settled there upon his retirement. It also has Arbory Primary School, serving the villages of Ballabeg and Colby, as well as the outlying areas. The parish church has a large churchyard with many graves dating back at least to the mid-18th century, although there has been a church on the site for much longer.
