Rail transport in Jamaica
The Railways of Jamaica, constructed from 1845, were the first railway lines opened to traffic outside Europe and North America, and the second British Colony after Canada's Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad of 1836 to receive a railway system.〔(Jamaica Railway Stations ) Jamaica National Heritage Trust〕〔(Jamaica Economy - Transportation and Communications ) The Library of Congress Country Studies〕 Construction started only twenty years after George Stephenson's Stockton and Darlington Railway commenced operations in the United Kingdom.
The public passenger railway service in Jamaica, which was closed in October 1992,〔 had a brief revival in 2011 only to be closed once again in August 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Jamaica Gleaner )〕 The Parliament of Jamaica debate leading towards a revival under a public joint venture corporation proposed with an offshore partner.〔(No to any Government loan to restart railway service in Jamaica ) Jamaica Gleaner - May 26, 2006〕 Private freight transport continues on limited tracks leading to the various docks around the Caribbean island, transporting bauxite and sugar cane for export.
