Knockaloe Railway

The Knockaloe Railway was a spur off the Douglas to Peel line of the Isle of Man Railway which operated for the duration of the First World War transporting prisoners of war to a camp that had been created on a farm of the same name. Few photographs survive of this line, but the locomotive shed is still in existence, the farm is now government owned. The line was worked by the locomotive "Caledonia".
