The Isle of Man can boast one of the most extrordinary railway systems in the world.  It has the oldest electric railway, the longest  running horsetrams, two vintage steam railways, a unique mountain railway, and the remains of cable cars, funicular railways and cliff lifts.

This programme traces the development of these extraordinary systems with archive photographs and rare footage, and shows how they have adapted to the 21st century.  We visis the workshops where traditional skills for repair and rebuilding are still in use, and take a trip along the various lines through the Manx countryside and up onto the island's higest mountain.
