The Queen's Pier Tramway is a three foot gauge line that once operated the entire length of the Queen's Pier in Ramsey on the Isle of Man. Originally operated by two hand-propelled carts for propelling of luggage, it was later used by a "planet" diesel locomotive and carriage, and later still by a railcar. Upon closure of the pier in 1985 the rolling stock was removed to a small museum at the local tram station apart from the long disused luggage cart that remained on site. The line proved popular until 1971 when the steamers ceased to call at the pier.
