	Isle of Wight Steam Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage railway line on the Isle of Wight, an offshore island of England.
		The Isle of Wight Steam Railway passes through five and a half miles of unspoiled countryside from Smallbrook Junction station to Wootton station, passing through the small village of Havenstreet where the line has a station, headquarters and depot.
		As the name suggests, services are hauled by steam locomotives, with most of the fleet having spent much of their working life on the island's railways.
