The Snaefell Mountain Railway (Manx: Raad-Yiarn Sniaull) is an electric mountain railway on the Isle of Man in Europe. It joins the village of Laxey with the summit of Snaefell at 620 metres (2034 ft) above sea level the highest point on the island. It connects with the Manx Electric Railway (MER) in Laxey. The line is 5 miles (8.0 km) long built to 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) gauge and uses a Fell Incline Railway System centre rail for braking on the steep gradients.
