Sodor & Mainland Railway

The Sodor & Mainland Railway was a standard gauge railway that opened in 1856 and closed in 1915.

History
Many of the S&M staff originally came from Ireland or Scotland. It provided passenger services, but was primarily intended to be a goods line. Although plans were put in action to start a steamer ferry service from Kirk Ronan to Dublin, nothing much came of it.

Work began on the Sodor and Mainland Railway at Barrow in June of 1856 and after eighteen months of construction, the railway opened and began goods and passenger services. However, the railway's Board of Directors were extremely ambitious and risky when expanding the railway. In 1882, the railway extended to Maron after the completion of the viaduct, which was their most expensive undertaking.

In 1915, when the North Western Railway was formed, the 3 box tanks were scrapped. Lady, however was abandoned near the mines of Great Waterton
