We're all aboard the steam railway in this episode - with stories from people who devoted their working life to the smooth running of the trains that were such an important part of Island life in years gone by.
Cyril Mylchreest recalls his days as Station Master in Port Soderick and then at Union Mills, in conversation with Charles Guard.
And when David Callister visited Ballasalla Halt, he got some first hand knowledge of how to deal with two incoming trains, by watching Station Master Peter Craine.
Then there's another story from Arthur Underhill's days in the Police Force - can you imagine thumbing a lift from a member of the public when you need to chase a criminal? Well, that's just what Arthur did!
And Hector Duff shares some memories from his childhood in Sulby - involving yet another type of transport, and some memorable local characters.
