Sulby Reservoir, somewhat depleted at this time of year, as it is the main fresh water source for much of the northern half of the Isle of Man - and can used to "top up" the West Baldwin Reservoir, which supplies Douglas and the southern part of the Island. Looking west from the descending tramcar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulby_Reservoir The wiki article mentions a couple of HEP schemes associated with the River Sulby.

This mechanism is the jaws of the Fell Brake on the Snaefell Mountain Railway [Tram No.5] These jaws clamp onto the raised central rail, to provide braking force additional to the normal rheostatic system.
