About the Flag

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 railway’s “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.
