context_page_description: The Isle of Man Railway is a narrow gauge steam-operated railway connecting Douglas with Castletown and Port Erin. The line is 3 ft narrow gauge and 15.3 miles long. It is the remainder of what was a much larger network 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.
context_section_description: All but one of the railway's distinctive locomotives were built by Beyer, Peacock and Company of Manchester between 1873 and 1926, with 16 steam locomotives in total.  As of March 2020 there are nominally three locomotives in traffic: No. 8 Fenella, No. 13 Kissack and  No. 15 Caledonia. In addition, No. 11 Maitland is undergoing a long-term rebuild, whilst No. 4 Loch and No. 10 G. H. Wood are both undergoing overhaul. The Isle of Man Railway Museum is home to No. 1 ‘’Sutherland’’ of 1873 and No. 6 Peveril of 1875, with other locomotives at various locations. Only No. 2 Derby has been lost, with only the frames of No. 7 Tynwald in existence, privately owned off-island. The railway also possesses two diesel locomotives: No. 17 Viking which was withdrawn in 2010 and No. 21 Vignoles, a diesel electric locomotive delivered in December 2013. A number of smaller shunting locomotives and people carriers for departmental use also exist.
