Notes: The Isle of Man Railway provided a public halt at Glen Helen to serve the pleasure ground for the summer season in 1976; it was short lived closing on 1st July 1879. A very short lived halt was opened on the site in 1927 for motorcycle races. It is recorded as being in use in July 1927 but appears to have closed at the end of that season. The halt was located on the east side of Ballacraine crossing, originally known as Curragh Road.

No know pictures of Glen Helen Halt or the later Ballacraine Halt are know to exist.
