IoM[2] / smr[18] - Fell (rail) Brake

09 Aug 2023 2 103
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. Image taken on the flat track at Laxey, where the braking rail is omitted. With the permission of the driver, as I'm standing right on the track.
