Sodor would be between England and the Isle of Man, isolated from the British railway system, but somewhere that readers could easily imagine. </p><p>Awdry and his younger brother George worked out Sodor's history, geography, industry and language ("Sudric"). Inspiration came from various sources. Dryaw was an anagram of Awdry. Elsbridge was named after Wilbert's parish of <a href="/wiki/Elsworth" title="Elsworth">Elsworth</a> in <a href="/wiki/Cambridgeshire" title="Cambridgeshire">Cambridgeshire</a>. Some place-names were Sudric equivalents or near-equivalents of those in the real world (for instance, <a href="/wiki/Skarloey_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Skarloey Railway">Skarloey</a> was a rough Sudric equivalent of the <a href="/wiki/Welsh_language" title="Welsh language">Welsh</a> <a href="/wiki/Talyllyn_Railway" title="Talyllyn Railway">Talyllyn</a>: <i>logh</i> and <i>llyn</i> mean "lake" in Manx and Welsh respectively). They created more details of Sodor than would ever be used in <i>The Railway Series</i> stories. </p><p>Their abridged notes were published in 1987 in a book titled: <i><a href="/wiki/The_Island_of_Sodor:_Its_People,_History_and_Railways" class="mw-redirect" title="The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways">The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways</a></i> (republished with some minor modifications by Christopher Awdry in 1992 under the title <i>Sodor: Reading Between the Lines</i>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Language">Language<span class="anchor" id="Language"></span><span class="anchor" id="Sudric"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sodor_(fictional_island)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Language"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Fictional_language" title="Fictional language">fictional native language</a> of Sodor is "Sudric" or "Sudrian", a <a href="/wiki/Goidelic_languages" title="Goidelic languages">Goidelic</a> language similar to <a href="/wiki/Manx_language" title="Manx language">Manx</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-IoSPHR_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IoSPHR-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Many of the place names are based on Manx words, but often conforming to English word order, e.g. Killdane, which comes from "Keeill-y-Deighan" (Church of the Devil),<sup id="cite_ref-IoSPHR-2_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IoSPHR-2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the hills, called Knock and Cronk.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The island is roughly <a href="/wiki/Rhombus" title="Rhombus">diamond</a>-shaped, 62 miles (100 km) wide east to west and 51 miles (82 km) long north to south. Its north-west coast is separated from the Isle of Man by a <a href="/wiki/Strait" title="Strait">strait</a> called the Sudrian Sea (Faarkey-y-Sudragh), four miles (6 km) wide. In the north-east, it overrides and replaces the real <a href="/wiki/Walney_Island" title="Walney Island">Walney Island</a>. Its highest mountain is Culdee Fell, which was modelled on <a href="/wiki/Snowdon" title="Snowdon">Snowdon</a>: the ridge of Devil's Back copies the Clogwyn ridge on Snowdon. The summit is reached by the Culdee Fell Railway, which is based on the <a href="/wiki/Snowdon_Mountain_Railway" title="Snowdon Mountain Railway">Snowdon Mountain Railway</a> in Wales. </p><p>The capital and administrative centre of Sodor is the city of Suddery; Tidmouth is the largest town on the island. One of the more famous settlements on Sodor is Ffarquhar, the terminus of Thomas's branch line. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Railways">Railways</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sodor_(fictional_island)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Railways"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The railways of Sodor include <a href="/wiki/Standard_gauge" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard gauge">standard</a> and <a href="/wiki/Narrow_gauge" class="mw-redirect" title="Narrow gauge">narrow gauge</a> railways, a <a href="/wiki/Rack_railway" title="Rack railway">rack railway</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Fifteen-inch_gauge_railway" title="Fifteen-inch gauge railway">15-inch gauge</a> railway. The first several stories concerned standard-gauge engines.

In the story <i>The Fat Controller's Engines</i>, eight of the famous engines visit London. </p><p>There are three narrow-gauge railways: the Skarloey Railway, the rack-and-pinion Culdee Fell Mountain Railway, and the Arlesdale Railway. On the west side of the island, the <span class="nowrap">15 in</span> (<span class="nowrap">381 mm</span>) gauge Arlesdale Railway runs from Arlesdale West along the trackbed of the abandoned Mid-Sodor Railway. In the center of the island, the Culdee Fell Mountain Railway runs west from Kirk Machan to the summit of Culdee Fell. On the eastern side of the island, the Skarloey Railway runs northwest from Crovan's Gate up the valley to its namesake, Skarloey Lake. Rolling stock is moved to and from the narrow-gauge railways on flatbed wagons on the standard-gauge system; for example, <a href="/wiki/Rheneas" class="mw-redirect" title="Rheneas">Rheneas</a> is sent away for repairs in <i>Skarloey Remembers</i> and returns in <i>Gallant Old Engine</i>. </p><p>Each of the narrow-gauge railways links to the standard-gauge system at an <a href="/wiki/Interchange_station" title="Interchange station">interchange station</a>: </p> <ul><li>the Skarloey Railway at Crovan's Gate</li> <li>the Culdee Fell Railway at Kirk Machan</li> <li>the Arlesdale Railway at Arlesburgh West</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Description_of_lines">Description of lines</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sodor_(fictional_island)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Description of lines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>The <i>North Western Railway</i> is the main railway company featured in the books.

There are 8 trains both ways hauled by electric locomotives, being the only line on Sodor that is electrified. 4 of these trains, presumably the ones in peak hours, continue to Cronk. The line also serves the Aluminium Works at Peel Godred, and has to handle heavy freight traffic of bauxite and aluminium products.

The suburban trains are operated as a joint service between the NWR and The Other Railway (which was originally the <a href="/wiki/London,_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway" title="London, Midland and Scottish Railway">London, Midland and Scottish Railway</a>, later <a href="/wiki/British_Rail" title="British Rail">British Rail</a> and currently <a href="/wiki/Northern_Trains" title="Northern Trains">Northern Trains</a>.</li> <li>Kellsthorpe Road to Kirk Ronan</li></ul></li></ul></li> <li>The <i>Arlesdale Railway</i> (also known as <i>Small Railway</i>), a <a href="/wiki/15_inch_gauge_railway" class="mw-redirect" title="15 inch gauge railway">15 inch gauge railway</a>, takes waste from the mines in the hills to Arlesburgh where it could be distributed to the rest of the island.
