A line up of Isle of Man Railway motive power on display at Douglas station in 1969. Even at this time several of these locomotives were non-operational. Nearest the camera is the unique Manx Northern Railway 0-6-0T No. 15 Caledonia and in front of that the oldest locomotive in the fleet, 2-4-0T No. 1 Sutherland. Ahead of No. 1 are three further locomotives that appear to be No. 8 Fenella, No. 6 Peveril and an unidentified example in maroon livery.
