The Foxdale Railway was a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge branch line which ran from St. John's to Foxdale[1] in the Isle of Man. The line ran 2+1⁄4 miles (3.6 km)[2] from an end-on junction with the Manx Northern Railway west of St. John's, then passed to the north of the Isle of Man Railway station before curving south and crossing the IMR's line from Douglas via an overbridge (the only place where railway crossed railway in the Isle of Man unless one counts the 19-inch gauge Great Laxey Mine Railway tunnel under the Manx Electric Railway) to the east of the station. The line had a fairly constant incline through Waterfall(s) Halt, the only intermediate station, to the terminus in Upper Foxdale. The tracks extended beyond Foxdale into the mine workings area.
