When did the Isle of Man Railway start running?
Isle of Man Railway
On 22 August 1925 a train hauled by № 3 Pender ran into Douglas station with insufficient braking power as a misunderstanding had resulted in the Guard and Brakesman being left behind at Union Mills, resulting in there being no-one on board the forward and rear brake vans to apply the train handbrakes. The Fireman of the train was killed but the Driver, William Costain, escaped unhurt. Vacuum brakes were introduced as a result of the accident.[4]
J.I.C. Boyd[5] mentions a serious head-on collision between a light engine (№ 7) and a passenger train on Port Soderick bank in 1928, which resulted in the frames of № 10 G.H. Wood being bent.  They were bent again in a minor collision at Union Mills in 1968[6]
On 14 August 2005 a train hauled by № 13 Kissack when entering Castletown was derailed on the facing points of the passing loop, resulting in the locomotive and leading coach F.54 becoming derailed.  There were no serious injuries and services were replaced by buses for the remainder of the day while the locomotive was re-railed.
On 19 May 2008 a train hauled by № 4 Loch to Port Erin was involved in a collision with a van at Port Soderick station. There were no reported injuries to the driver of the van or the 74 passengers and crew on board the train.
On 7 May 2012 a train hauled by № 4 Loch was involved in a minor collision with a train hauled by № 13 Kissack that was awaiting departure from the bay platform at Port Erin due to the point being incorrectly set.
