Isle of Man Railways has published a pictorial events calendar for 2012.
As well as stunning photography of steam locomotives and electric trams, all key dates and special events on the Island’s railways are highlighted in the calendar, available from the Welcome Centre at Douglas Sea Terminal, priced £5.
The photographs were selected from images taken of this year’s events, some of which were entered as part of a competition run by IoM Railways. The overall winner, Steve Chapple, of Port Erin, submitted December’s image of Santa Trains – No.10 GH Wood and No.13 Kissack double header out of Castletown. His prize is a footplate ride on the steam railway next year.
IoM Railways’ photograph competition will be repeated next year. Details are printed on the calendars, which will also be available from Douglas, Castletown and Port Erin stations when the Santa trains are running on 3, 4, 10, 11 and 17 December.
Richard Little, Marketing Manager for IoM Public Transport, said: ‘The Island’s railways are fortunate in having a huge fan base and we are grateful for their photographic efforts that have enabled us to publish this year’s calendar. At £5 it makes a good stocking filler while another excellent Christmas present is either a beginner or intermediate driving experience on the Manx Electric Railway.’
