Sketch #189) Manx Electric Railway
Guaranteed to make me smile
Old fashioned trams
On the three legged Isle.
Now, if you look on Wikipedia, which is my internet encyclopedia of choice, for some reason it doesn't include the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man. The only reason I can think for this is the fact that it isn't a city tramway. I mean, yes, it is called a railway, but surely the vehicles like the ones in the picture are tramcars. Doesn't matter, anyway. I may be wrong, but I think that the Manx Railway is the world's oldest which is still using its original cars. This year, 2018, it's actually celebrating the 125th anniversary of it's opening in 1893. Fair play.
