The running-in board is in the style of two such boards that were to be found at the station prior to its closure in September 1968.  It was decided to make the replica sign from powder coated aluminium to offer longer low maintenance life-span, rather than use traditional timber which would require painting every couple of years. The Association has an interest in both protecting and promoting the heritage of the former Isle of Man Railway lines to Peel, Ramsey and Foxdale, as well as the remaining open section from Douglas to Port Erin. The board complements No.2 Crane which has been on display at the site for many years since the creation of the Heritage Trail.  The sign was followed by a similar one at Peel Station.
