The uppermost level of mine workings, known as the adit, was a series of tunnels extending to a mile and a half, which entered the hillside at ground level, and connected the heads of all the working mine shafts. Within this adit level a railway was provided from 1823, to allow transportation of mined ores from the mine shafts out to the external washing floors and mine yards. </p><p>The railway was originally hand-operated, with miners pushing small wagons. In 1827 a pit pony was purchased to haul the wagons, and the number of ponies grew as the mines expanded. By the 1870s there was a clear need for more modern motive power, and the two steam locomotives <i>Ant</i> and <i>Bee</i> were delivered in 1877. </p><p>The mine closed in 1929. The railway remained in place for the following six years, but in 1935 all parts of the railway above ground, including the locomotives and rolling stock, were scrapped.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 1970s the adit level was reopened and explored for historical evidence. It was discovered that parts of the underground section of the railway were still intact, and in one tunnel an entire train (consisting of six open ore wagons) was found, abandoned underground when work in the mine had finished. The wagons were returned to ground level and restored. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg/220px-Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg/330px-Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg/440px-Engine_sheds_at_Laxey.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3024" data-file-height="4032" /></a><figcaption>The engine and carriage sheds at Valley Gardens.

By 2005 the line had been relaid into the old mine yard.
