Start of the 2013 Season
An early start to the IMR 2013 season came on 14th February. The two train service ran with 12 Hutchinson as Port Erin loco and 10 G.H.Wood as Douglas loco. G.H.Wood was fitted with the snow plough for the first return journey of the day. As it was Valentines day the Valentines Special again, with the three available saloons used with 4 Loch hauling for the Castletown return journey. Perhaps the highlight of the day was the appearance of 15 Caledonia, and its first run on a passenger carrying service. The loco banked the 11:50 train to Port Erin and then returned to Douglas banking the 13:50 from Port Erin.
