Port Erin Railway Museum

The Isle of Man Railway Museum in the village of Port Erin on the Isle of Man is a small museum of the history of the Isle of Man Railway from its founding in 1873 to the present, including the now-closed lines that served Peel, Ramsey (Manx Northern Railway) and Foxdale, and the remaining open line between Douglas and Port Erin. == History & Location == The museum opened in the summer of 1975 when the Isle of Man Road Services, a subsidiary of the railway company, relocated to their new garage, which still exists today at the foot of the main platform, which in turn saw the rationalisation of the railway station by the shortening of the former bay platform area to create parking spaces for buses.
