The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage railway on the Isle of Wight.
The railway passes through 5.5 miles (8.9 km) of unspoiled countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton station, passing through the small village of Havenstreet, where the line has a station, headquarters and a depot.
At Smallbrook Junction, the steam railway connects with the Island Line.
'02' 0-4-4T No. 24 'Calbourne' was the first engine acquired by the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in 1967 and the last survivor of a class that once numbered sixty strong. Originally constructed in 1891 at the Nine Elms locomotive works of the London and South Western Railway to a design by William Adams, Chief Mechanical Engineer.
Her early years were spent based at Fratton and then Exeter, passing into the ownership of the Southern Railway in 1923. On 26 April 1925 she was shipped to the Isle of Wight as part of a major modernisation of the Island's railways.
