Isle of Man Railway Museum, Railway museum in Port Erin, Isle of Man.

The museum occupies a former bus garage adjacent to Port Erin railway station, displaying locomotives, carriages, and railway memorabilia from the Isle of Man network.

Opening in August 1975, the museum preserves artifacts from the Isle of Man Railway system, which began operations in 1873 connecting Douglas, Peel, Ramsey, and Foxdale.

The collection includes two royal saloons used by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II during their visits to the Isle of Man.

Visitors can purchase a Go Explore card for unlimited travel on scheduled bus and rail services, making it convenient to reach the museum from any point.

The museum features a wood-turning lathe, original tickets, and photographs documenting the development of Britain's longest narrow gauge steam line.
