Looking north from the northern end of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway platform at Smallbrook Junction station. The Island Line is behind the fence on the right. The wagons appear to be being used as buffers at the end of the headshunt to the runaround loop for the steam railway. The signal on the right is for the Island Line. The entire purpose of this station, constructed in 1994, is to serve as an interchange between the two railways. There is no road or footpath access so the station is open only when both Island Line and Isle of Wight Steam Railway trains are operating.

One of the features of the IoW Steam Railway are their superbly restored coaches some of
which date back to the 19th century. Our coach, which formed part of this train was from 1910. They
are seen here at Havenstreet.
