Travelling Memories : Leaving The Summit, Isle of Man 2016

            While pretty much rooted to home in another lockdown I thought I'd root through my previous holiday photos and post some that haven't seen the light of day on Flickr before.

Snaefell Mountain Car No.1 leaves the summit of Snaefell in a brief break in the weather, on the Isle of Man in 2016. Moments before it had been thick mist and by the time it reached the set of poles in the distance it would be thick mist again. The Snaefell Mountain Railway at more than 2000ft can be called the summit (no pun intended) of the transport experience on the Isle of Man and is one of the best 'train' rides in the UK. On a clear day you can see England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland from the top. 

But is it a tram or is it a train? The blue liveried mountain cars are adorned 'Snaefell Mountain Tramway' while the red ones are adorned 'Snaefell Mountain Railway'. While down below the system is called the M.E.R, the Manx Electric Railway, yet they are often referred to as Trams!
