The Groudle Glen Railway / Raad Yiarn Glion Ghroudal is a heritage narrow
gauge railway in the Isle of Man, on the coast just northeast of Douglas; it
opened for tourist service in 1896 and has operated on and off, last reopened in
1986. More info at http://www.ggr.org.uk and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groudle_Glen_Railway.
Its flag can be
seen in use in this July 2019 video (from 12:28 to 12:31) [https://youtu.be/fq51oqlhclc&t=12m28s],
where the the unreadable reverse of the flag can be seen. This video is part of the Manx leg of the All the Stations documentary [http://allthestations.co.uk]
by Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall.
The flag is mainly red with the
railways crest centered on it. This
image
features a green locomotive, seen sideways on a silver bridge (or just an
ornament?) above the arms of the Isle of Man, all on white background
enclosed in a buff garter belt with the name "Groudle Glen Railway" in red
capitals arched across the top, and silver ornamentation at the bottom. The
flag is edged all around in a green, black, and yellow border that suggests
wood panelling.
