Skarloey Railway

The Skarloey Railway is a narrow gauge railway that runs through the hills of Sodor. It begins at Crovan's Gate, and loops around a lake.

History
The railway was founded in 1860 to deliver slate to Sodor & Mainland trains. Horses brought carts full of slate down from the quarry, and took empty ones up the line. Four years later, two new engines were brought for Wales; Skarloey and Rheneas, the latter arriving a month after the former. Both were shipped from Wales by ship, and taken to Crovan's Gate by standard gauge engines.

In 1905, a coal mine and wharf were constructed at Norramby, and an engine from the Mid Sodor Railway came to arrange trucks there. Forty-five years later, the line delivered supplies to Crovan's Gate to help the Allies win World War II.

This prosperity wouldn't last for a while, as the line began to decline. It wasn't until Rheneas successfully got his passengers to the station, the line eventually began to heal, and ran normally in the years after, all the way to the present.
