Sulby Glen railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sulby Glen Station is unique among the Manx Northern Railway's stations; when constructed it was of corrugated iron but this was later replaced with a non-prototypical building with built in canopy; today, as a private dwelling, what was the platform has had a wall added to make another room to the house but the original structure and purpose can clearly be seen from the nearby footpath the follows the trackbed. There was also a corrugated hut here as a goods shed/store and this is also still extant. As the next station either side were provided with passing loops, this station ran straight through. It was closed along with all other stations in 1968 and converted to a private dwelling thereafter.
