Location


The stop serves the village and is the nearest tram stop to the Laxey Wheel and lies to the north of the village's main station.


Siding


Nearby is located next to a siding which is now used to house the line's permanent way rolling stock but was used initially for the Year of Railways main event in 1993, when Isle of Man Railway locomotive No. 4 Loch of 1874 operated services between here and the Dhoon Quarry as part of a series of special events.


Reenactment


There was some historical precedent for this as during construction of the electric line, locomotives from the other railway were contracted for haulage purposes.


Facilities


The area was also the site of a temporary booking office (portakabin) especially for these services. Today, the halt is served by a dual-purpose shelter which sits at the end of the terrace from which it gains its name (also known as "Ham & Egg Terrace").


Mines railway


Nearby is the Great Laxey Mines Railway, a reconstruction of an original 19" gauge line that served the mines, reconstructed in recent times be a group of enthusiasts.
