Killdane

Killdane, previously Keeill-y-Deighan, or the "Church of the Devil", originating from the circle of standing stones on the plateau above the village, is a town on The Main Line and the junction for the Peel Godred Branch Line. An hourly, half-hourly at peak times, service is provided and four passenger trains are pulled along the branch from here by electric locomotives daily. A group of standing stones is located on the hill just north of the town.
In 1935, Henry crashed into a goods train here whilst pulling "The Flying Kipper".
In 1967, a ballast processing plant and distribution centre was set up by the Arlesdale Ballast, Granite, and Gravel Company. A motorail terminal was also opened here in 1977. The Sodor Ironworks is located south of the town. The Sodor Ice Cream Factory is located near the town.
