Railways of Jamaica: May Pen to Frankfield
The May Pen to Frankfield line was built to serve the fast developing citrus industry in the upper Clarendon regions of Chapelton and Frankfield.〔

==Inception==
During the 1911 general election railway extension was a prominent issue, and in March the Colonial Secretary introduced into the Legislature a resolution authorising the expenditure of £90,000 on the construction of a branch line from May Pen to Danks, beyond Chapelton in upper Clarendon.〔 "After an animated discussion the resolution was carried by 19 votes to 5. The new line will open up the fertile valley of the Rio Minho... It is hoped that ultimately the line will be driven forward to the still more fertile district of Ulster Spring in Upper Trelawny and then on to Falmouth, the seaport on the north side of the island, whose former prosperity would thereby be restored."〔Official handbook on the BWI, 1912.〕 Due to the Great War and the economic situation in the Twenties this long-term aim was never accomplished.〔(B097 ), BWISC Bulletin 1978-06, Jamaica Railway Markings, Major T W Jefferson.〕
