MER[18] / IoM[2] - side by side
An evening run on the MER [Manx Electric Railway] under special - gala - operating procedures.

Car 32 - Roofed Toastrack with 56 seats, built 1906 by United Electric Car Co. running in the Green & White "Nationalisation" livery.

Parallel running requires a good deal of concentration by the motormen, and travelling over level crossings with the roads, and just behind them, the Snaefell Mountain Railway, even greater watchfulness.
