Vicarstown is a small town on the eastern side of Sodor. The North Western Railway built their terminus and headquarters here in 1915, but after a 1925 agreement with the LMS Railway to allow NWR trains to stop in Barrow-in-Furness there was no further use required. A smaller replacement station was built for the engines operating the car ferry service, and the turntable was relocated at Barrow and the headquarters moved to the other end of the main line at Tidmouth. The Vicarstown station is straight and has four terminal lines.

  • It has appeared in the Railway Series books Thomas the Tank Engine, Gordon the High-Speed Engine and Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines. In the television series, Vicarstown was mentioned semi-regularly since the seventeenth season. The town and station finally appeared in the television series for the first time in The Great Race and the station is situated on a viaduct. There appears to be a tramway running along the roads underneath the viaduct. A cathedral is also located in the town, near the station. Vicarstown Sheds are a roundhouse with a turntable at the front and five berths for the engines. The Vicarstown Goods Depot, Dieselworks, Rolling Bridge and a Viaduct are also located here.
