Not a US operation, but a significant, and rather sudden, closure of this 140 year old seafront horse car service on the Isle of Man was announced yesterday....

It has come as a shock all round, but at least the cars themselves will all be preserved by the look of it.

The Isle of Man is situated in the Irish Sea betwen England and Ireland, just in case you can't place it on the map!
It's not part of the UK either, though the Queen is the Head of State. Despite being a "Tax Haven", the island appears to be having money problems at the moment, so it is hoped that these problems don't affect the Islands narrow gauge steam railway and the Douglas-Ramsey electric interurban as well.
