Douglas Southern Electric Tramway (Manx: Raad Yiarn Lectragh Jiass Ghoulish) was a standard gauge tramway between the top of Douglas Head on the Isle of Man and the nearby resort of Port Soderick. The route ran along the Douglas Head Marine Drive atop the cliffs and crossed a number of viaducts and bridges.[1]
The tram line was 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, and was single track with passing places. All stops were on the seaward side of the track, and cars only had doors on that side. At each end of the route short inclined railways carried passengers to and from the termini. At its peak, the line was operated by a fleet of 8 motor cars and a similar number of trailers.[2]
