The Arlesdale Tramway had several steam engines that used to work on its line.
Biography[]
The Arlesdale Tramway, a 2ft 3in gauge mineral tramway, connected the mines at Cas-ny-Hawin to the Port of Arlesburgh. At first the line was horse-worked but after seeing the success of the steam-powered Skarloey Railway in 1866, acquired an uncertain number of steam engines of its own.[1]
After the tramway was bought by the committee of Peel Godred, they upgraded it to standards provided by the Board of Trade to allow regular passenger-transporting services, and eventually the tramway became part of the Mid Sodor Railway, and then the Arlesdale Railway.[1]
No descriptions were given about these engines, about how many of them there were or what eventually happened to them.
