Culdee Fell Railway

The Culdee Fell Railway is a Sudrian rack railway. It was first opened in 1896, but less than a month after the opening Godred derailed, causing one passenger fatality (ironically, the killed man had feared the worst and leapt out, hitting his head on a rock) and so the line was closed for several years for further maintainance.

The line was first run by five steam engines - Godred, Ernest, Wilfred, Culdee and Shane Dooiney - but Godred was either scrapped or cannibalised for parts after his accident; the reality is uncertain. Three engines - Lord Harry, Alaric and Eric were later purchased. The latter two are currently out of service. It can be assumed that, like the Snowdon Railway, the railway's real-life counterpart, the railway is currently run by the five remaining engines and four to six unknown diesel engines until the Sodor Island Fourm's "Extended Railway Series" thread.
