The Isle of Wight Steam Train Railway

Isle of Wight Steam Railway

The beautiful Isle of Wight Steam Railway runs for 5.5 miles between Smallbrook Junction to Wootton. Originally opened in 1862, this line became an important feature on the island and remained open until 1966. The line was re-opened for use in 1971 and has remained a proud part of the Isle of Wight ever since. Most of the locomotives are steam, with the oldest engine dating back to 1876, and all have been lovingly restored to excellent working condition. There is also a small selection of diesel engines, which are mainly used to haul service trains. The carriages have also been restored, providing a nostalgic experience as the route winds through the unspoilt countryside of the Isle of Wight.
