Loch Promenade Construction Railway

Loch Promenade Construction Railway

The Loch Promenade Construction Railway was a temporary railway which ran along the southerly end of the majestic promenade at Douglas as part of the extensive widening scheme that took place at the start of the twentieth century. Running to a broad gauge and carrying a self-propelled crane it assisted in the reclamation of land which now forms the outer walkway of the promenade.
