Mid Sodor Railway

The Mid Sodor Railway was a narrow gauge railway that ran into the mountains. It should have looked where it was going.

About
The Mid Sodor Railway was opened in October 1880 and had several engines working on it. The three most memorable ones were Duke, Falcon and Stuart. Duke was the oldest and named after his grace, the Duke of Sodor. But once a branch line from Killdane to Peel Godred was built, the line's traffic from Arlesburgh started to decline and it, as well as the Tidmouth-Arlesburgh branch, eventually closed in 1947. Stuart and Falcon were bought by the Skarloey Railway and they changed their names to Peter Sam and Sir Handel respectively. Duke was thought to be too old, and was sheeted up at the main workshop. He was later rediscovered in 1969 and returned to service on the Skarloey Railway in 1982. The Arlesdale Railway runs along half of the old route.
