St. Kitts Scenic Railway : ウィキペディア英語版 | St. Kitts Scenic Railway St. Kitts Scenic Railway is an 18 miles (29 km) long narrow gauge railway line along the coast line on the island of St Kitts with a track gauge of . == History ==
The original track was laid from 1912 to 1926, to deliver sugar cane from the plantations to the sugar mill in Basseterre.〔(St. Kitts Scenic Railway Tour ) on www.stkittsscenicrailway.com〕 The sugar mill was built by a group of investors in 1912, to reduce the processing cost and increase profitability by applying the principle of economies of scale since the sugar price drop caused by the world-wide introduction of sugar beet. The first section of the railway line from the ''Factory Pier'' to the ''St. Kitts Basseterre Sugar Factory'', with a ''West Line'' branch running out 4 miles to ''Palmetto Point'' at Trinity and another ''North Line'' branch running out to ''Mills's'' at ''Bourryeau Estate'', was completed on 28 February 1912.〔(One Hundred Years of St. Kitts Railroading on www.stkittsscenicrailway.com. )〕 It was celebrated with a ''special train'' carrying invited dignitaries. The railway was then operated seasonally from February to June for the annual sugar harvest. The privately–owned St. Kitts Scenic Railway commenced running tourist trains on 28 January 2003. The scheme is run in an unusual partnership between the government and a private enterprise. The slogan “Last Railway in the West Indies” demonstrates its objective to preserve a link to a past, when sugar ruled the island's economy.〔(History of St. Kitts and the Sugar Train ) on www.stkittsscenicrailway.com.〕
