The Port Erin Railway Museum is located quite literally at the end of the Port Erin Line – on the platform of the most southerly stop on the Isle of Man Steam Railway.
The museum charts the history of the steam powered railway from its inception in 1873 to the present day including the now defunct lines which used to serve Peel, Ramsey and Foxdale. Inside you’ll find steam engines and carriages including the royal carriages which carried The Queen and Queen Mother in 1963 and Queen Elizabeth II in 1972. The museum is home to a fine collection of locomotives, the Royal Train, rolling stock, memorabilia, posters and interpretive displays.
The Railway Museum is open on days the Steam Railway operates from March to November between 9:30am to 4:30pm.
