Isle of Man - Ramsey The village of St John’s lies not only at the geographical heart of the Isle of Man, but also at the heart of the Island's sense of nationhood. Firstly, it is at the crossroads between Douglas-Peel and Ramsey-Castletown, and when the railway age came to the Island, St John’s was the junction where the Isle of Man Railway and Manx Northern Railway meet. The steam railway from Douglas to Peel and Ramsey sadly closed in 1968, but the trackbed still remains as a heritage trail for walkers. www.isleofman.com /about/outandabout/stjohns   (689 words)

Island Railways The company was formed in 1872, and the first section, eleven and a half miles long, from Douglas via St. John's to Peel, was opened for traffic on July 3. The three original locomotives of the Isle of Man Railway were of the 2-4-0 type, and were named "Sutherland," "Loch," and "Pender." They are still in existence, and their design remained an unchanged standard until 1926, when the "Mannin" was built, a similar though bigger engine. This is made up of the original main line, crossing the island from Douglas to Peel, the line from Douglas, along the southeast coast to Castletown and thence to Port Erin (fifteen and a half miles), and the two branches from St. mikes.railhistory.railfan.net /r008.html   (4841 words)

The Isle of Man TT races Although he made his name on the Isle of Man TT circuit, he was a supremely talented 250cc and superbike rider, who recently held the outright lap record at Donington Park, as well as the TT course.
