Look at Spanish town🙄.Our leaders should be embarrassed..look. at informality + Zink fence..Jamaica we can do better.This was our old capital.This video really saddens me .Smh
I rode that route twice as a youngster in the early eighties all the way to montego bay and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I realy wish they could bring it back...i definitely would do it again..
My late mom's firstborn lived in Sav, Westmoreland and she would take the train regularly from Sptn to St. James to visit him, when I was a boy. The memories are vivid for me
Wow !! That's was absolutely incredible! 😄Thank you Soo much for taking us on the ride and for sharing your past experiences with Jamaica railway services.. 🙏🏾 I thoroughly enjoyed it.. and your commentary is A+ Super !! 💯👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Heir Jamaica...Very new discovery for as Born Jamaican living and viewing your interesting content from New York City...This will be on my bucket list to experience once I'm on the Island 🏝. Thank you. 🎉
This is bittersweet for me. While it’s good that an alternative way of transport is being provided, it’s the same rolling stock that I rode in to and from school in Spanish town 45 years ago. There is some renovation and retrofitting in the coaches and the engines are more than 50 years old. What’s even more disappointing is the deterioration of the infrastructure supporting the railway - the tracks, stations, signaling. Essentially operating like it was 100 years ago.😢 I guess it’s better than nothing
It's very needed, to have. It's a pity to know jamaica was the first to have trains no upgrade its a crying shame Government's do better make a good impact and a good name in history.
Not only west,but east the train was my transportation going to school ,and also going to work it was beautiful, i hope that my input is very important, sometimes am so ashame of what i now see
I love it! The first country in the western hemisphere to have a railway! Even before America🇯🇲🇺🇸 baby steps... they really need some gates even a simple arm to halt traffic.
My first journey on this route was on a school trip from Spanish Town to Ewarton,and then back to Spanish Town.I was in grade 3 1A at age 9 and attending McCauley's Primary School in the Spring of 1987.It was the blue train that has the double humps at the top of each coach that shaped similar to that on the back of the camel.
Have you not seen the streets in US, California, Chicago littered with tents of the homeless. Jamaica has had zinc from time in memorial, not every where in Jamaica can be beautified at the same time, especially when country people ran left the areas gone abroad pretending like they have never seen old zinc before. Send money to your relatives help them to replace the old zinc and stop your never see come see attitude. 😮😮😮
@@gloriarobinson1869 Fair. To your point, maybe there's more we can do collectively in the diaspora, like adopting villages, etc. It's not just about criticizing. Does anyone know of any "Adopt a Town" initiatives that members of the diaspora can participate in?
Wow..Cool to see a train running in Jamaica. Glad theyre bringing it back. Lets hope it continues,and even moreso,expands and improves. 😊 Ideally a train from one side all the way across to the other side would be great. 😊
I sent the video to my nephew an he said it is 38 minute an some second in the video just before you reach the first tunnel. The road you mention run thru Damhead you can take from cow market or the one in front of the dam carry up there
I feel the government should do more for the modernization of Jamaica and it does not take a lot of money!! Those steps at the station can be modernized with just a few hundred thousand dollars...government has to inspire the people like China does!! We can't live on legacy sentiments, else we just going to stuck in the past while the world moves on!! We don't use slate anymore for writing...we are using paper, pencil ,tablets and laptops!
I honestly think our leaders look down on us..Just look how dirty and disorganized Spanish town is.The sad thing is Jamaicans have gotten use to these type of anesthetics
My brother was one of the drivers from Kingston to Montego Bay. Beautiful ride. We would ride to Balaclava and take Confidence bus to Trelawny. Good old days.
I can remember I lived in Bog walk the trains go to linstead and at bog walk it also turned right to troja and onto port Antonio. In the 40s and 50s. I went to England at the end of the 50s I think that the train went to Ewerton,I can't really remember.
Seems like a good investment would be automated gates at all the level crossings so the train can run uninterrupted. Here in London even on the tram it gets priority at traffic lights. I hope those who can see that the investment in and expansion of the railway is important as support for the road networks. A few weeks ago the traffic in Montego Bay and Long hill of people commuting home was awful. If there was a rail service you know some pressure would be taken off. We know from the USA that just building more and more roads doesn't solve the problem and we know from the rest of the world that a multi transport network works.
Whatever the make of the locomotive and passenger cars are, if a local can buy the O gauge model train online and paint them to this livery they can make good money. Lots of US retirees are model train collectors - and no model train company has this train available!!! A model of this, done up by a Jamaican with a written history on it can fetch upwards of $1000 USD!!!
Gray Video The Government needs to do a lot of clearing and cleaning The Trees are too near to the window and can definitely affect unsuspecting passengers who try to look out The Rails need a clear path and the Garbages is a sore eye The can give people that’s living BT the track the work to keep the place clean
Just watching this makes me wonder. If Jamaica has more working Train systems how much tourism would go up? People would just take a train from one place to another without having to drive and enjoy the scenery at the same time? Whenever I come to Jamaica we dont drive cause were not used to RHD driving and the other side of the road. I would absolutely enjoy this experience if it made getting around easier.
I litterally was birthed near the train line in Mile gully Manchester, not far from the Greenvale Station. (Greenvale is the highset point on the Kingston to Montego bay line). I lived next to the train train tracks during the highest usage years of that part of the system; when the Revere Alumina Plant was operational near Maggoty in St Elizabeth. I believe it was a major mistake to allow the rail system to fail in Jamaica and we need the government to right the curruption and mismanagement of the past and secure Jamaica's future by making restoration of rail transportation a national priority. I dream of the day when jamaicans can again travel from Kingston to Port Antonio, to Montego bay, to Frankfield, by rail. I Love the video, Rail travel, and most of all Love Jamaica.
Also prior to having kids start using the service, was money so tight that the government and/or the community couldn't chip in to cleanup the outside of the station, wash down the inside of the train and paint it? Wow!
am 47 years old never ride on a train its my dream to do that my mother tell us stories riding on the trains when she was young one day i will take that train rife am glad it,s back
The train actually goes much faster than i expected, ive seen trains in some poorer European countries go 20 miles an hour on average while this one looks like it does 40 or 50 most of the time. Its still a bit slow, but its perfectly fine for Jamaica, because its the same as driving for the most part (ignoring the expressways). I hope the line into Kingston from Spanish Town gets refurbished eventually, the area could use it.
Maad ting. Where I live is near to the railway station and when the train reach from Sptn, some man would jump off the train and run off to avoid paying the fare, but the conductor would give chase and run dem down breathless to collect his fare. Jah kno!!
I knew we had trains for bauxite but damn... this is good "news to me." Now we need tracks right around and across the country... They need to figure out automatic traffic blocks to shut down traffic before the train gets to the crossings so it can jjust flow. Trains shouldnt be doing stop and go like cars do..
We definitely can invest the money and time to build back the train system into Jamaica, it’s not only good for the People but it will provide jobs too, I always wonder how people are saying that downtown is back and no one think about bringing by the railway system back to Kingston, which is cost to the downtown business district like Kings Street and princess Street and the water front, we just need the right People with the vision,long-term vision for the country, we cannot talk about Downton is back without a proper and safe transport system, and I know we can do it. I know we can achieve this goal and this is the first step as I said as a middle class Jamaican I am willing to pay a little bit more in tax to get stuff like this up and running back again for the goodness of the country. Yes I might not take the public transport, but I would still want to invest in it because it benefit everyone., and it’s time for us as Jamaican to stop feel like because something does not affect us. It’s not our job to fix it or to contribute to it.
I use to take the Diesel from Highgate to Kingston to go to School in 1959. Those cars where some seat is leather is the !st class Area. The porter use to put us up there so we could do our home work on the way,
This is good news. I hope it can extend. Sometimes it is better to start with what you can and slowly improve. There are young men washing clean car screen for example that deserve the opportunity to contribute in fixing up the broken infrastructure but where is the initiative. Coming back to Jamaica after many years I am sad to see the poor state of the roads coupled with gridlock and disregard for safety. So I am told, apparently the train line to Kingston has been built over and cant be economically restored ? The waste of time and air pollution due to the daily commute and school run traffic is appalling. What Jamaica and any country aspiring to progress needs above all else is top down accountability. What i see, and not exclusive to Jamaica, is bad mind, dog eats dog, which is a shame because at the same time Jamaica also places high regard on education and in striving for personal developnent and continues to produce outstanding students, so it's not lack.of human resources, it's maladministration This is what uou get when government and its employees become privileged rulers instead of honoured servants.
You people on here only see the negative in something that potentially is the start to something wonderful! Some a unnu deh a foreign and comparing. . Looking down on our island. . how shallow!! Have you not seen poverty in other parts of the world ? Have you not seen other train services in India , Africa and other parts of the underdeveloped and developing countries ? Even in developed countries ?! It's only Jamaicans bring down Jamaica.. especially those of you that migrate and think that you are now better than us. It's terribly sad...
My favourite memory as a child was riding the train from Kingstown to Mount Pellier. I loved going through the cane, citrus and banana fields. Those days we had the JOS bus service. We were poor but independent. Everyone was working, had a trade or some kind of entrepreneurship and crime was at zero. Jamaica was on top but some evil forces sabotaged our country. I just wish the leaders would lead out of love and integrity not just for gain. I love 🇯🇲!🙏🏿❤️❤️
@@ji7448 those were the days! Every adult had something going on for real, especially farming. Every man had a field of some sort. Those days we walked any hour of the night whether alone or with company, without fear. Everyone knew each other. The good old days.
People shouldn't be able to open the doors while the train is in motion. That's too dangerous. It also looks so easy for someone to be pushed or thrown through the windows. With all of the traffic congestions in Jamaica, an efficiently functioning railroad system would be wonderful. Jamaica started out so well and got derailed because of mismanagement. Hopefully, we'll recovery.
We lived 50 years ago across from the Linstead railway station, never forget the time when the train was not going anywhere for some reason don’t remember, it was full of ripe bananas ready to spoil, at the age of about 10 I remember eating ripe bananas 🍌 for breakfast lunch and dinner everyone around the area was eating and taking 😂 that green building is actually my nephew’s business up to this day
Make Jamaica railway cooperation Great again, the money is in the country, please give people some day job to clear the bushes where the trains are running
Jamaica needs to get back the train service. I think that’s the best long-term investment we can make in the near future just like how we have make a deal with the Chinese to give us a road. We can make a deal with them to give us strange system up and running back again 21st-century train system , Jamaica let us try and make a deal for the people of Jamaica, we need a proper transport system in Jamaica. I’ve never seen a country that have gridlock every day after the working week., in New York City we only have gridlock a couple of days of the year, in Jamaica they have a gridlock every single day, so this test run is very important, I hope we use it as a steppingstone to open up back the whole entirely train system back in Jamaica. A know it will take a lot of money but we can do it., if we’re in proving that highway, then we can do the train system too, this is one thing I would pay a little bit more in Tax to see happen a good transport system into Jamaica that’s what 21st century country does to move goods from port to sea to road to the people. Let’s do it Jamaica.
You all might not know, but Jamaica had the first railroad service in the western hemisphere. It is time the Jamaican government get it rolling again. It is a shame how they let the railroad system died.
Honestly this train thing is a very good idea, but! This Train is tired it's been there b4 I was born and I'm 54yrs old. The minister of transport should ask the citizen of Jamaica and who lives overseas to contribute a small sum to buy a 8 Carriage train or 10 Carriage that use Electric & Solar, 3million ppl live in Jamaica they can give $100 to $500 and overseas ppl give £10 or 20 US dollars or 20 Canadian to give Jamaican youth them some jobs to fix the train track with the help of a expert to get it done, but this tired train it's a no for me it's modern time now Jamaica Government step up. Don't shame our country any more as it is.

Thanks for this video,, God to see the home lane from a train
This is how we traveled from May Pen to Montego Bay as schoolers back in the 80’s. It was great. I remember the complete darkness in the tunnels
As a child I loved going through the dark tunnels, on the train to Kingston!
how long was the darkness?
@@judahtunes2245 it varied as some tunnels were longer than others but I’d say average 30 seconds to 1 minute if my memory serves me correctly

They have to start off slowly and "small". In time they can slowly improve it if the budget allows.
Let's hope it stays up and running firstly.

How long was the actual trip?
About 1hr15mins with all the delays, but actually 47 mins thereabouts if we hadn't stopped.
Is this a recent update in ja transport
Yes it is
No lights on the train?
Last time I checked, yes
Jamaica needs to get back the train service. I think that’s the best long-term investment we can make in the near future just like how we have make a deal with the Chinese to give us a road. We can make a deal with them to give us strange system up and running back again 21st-century train system , Jamaica let us try and make a deal for the people of Jamaica, we need a proper transport system in Jamaica. I’ve never seen a country that have gridlock every day after the working week., in New York City we only have gridlock a couple of days of the year, in Jamaica they have a gridlock every single day, so this test run is very important, I hope we use it as a steppingstone to open up back the whole entirely train system back in Jamaica. A know it will take a lot of money but we can do it., if we’re in proving that highway, then we can do the train system too, this is one thing I would pay a little bit more in Tax to see happen a good transport system into Jamaica that’s what 21st century country does to move goods from port to sea to road to the people. Let’s do it Jamaica.
I KNOW SPANISH POOR AND ALL BUT MY GOD ,THIS IS OBJECT POVERTY.GARBAGE AND ZINK FENCE EVERY WHERE ..JAMAICA WE CAN DO BETTER 😢
I’ve heard this for years we can do better , as long as the logical class and criminals do damage nothing will change
You should ask pnp when they was power the economy was not it good shape it going to take more years to fix problem in incity
They don't spend money to fix the old capital. Little to no improvement has been done in the past few years.
Yes, tell Holness, the priminister with 28 Bank accounts...
Vote Holness out, then Jamaica may be better..
Kendal still hurts me.

When was this film?
Cant believe people live inner zinc house in Jamaica in 2024, sad!
They could at clean up the train stops and other areas of operations.
You all might not know, but Jamaica had the first railroad service in the western hemisphere. It is time the Jamaican government get it rolling again. It is a shame how they let the railroad system died.
Is this train still in operation?
Yes, currently
the place looks awful, the govt should have it fixed up!
Or… the community fix it up. 🤔
How fast does this train go?
I'm sure it can go over 80mph but the lines won't contain it
Might need security on the trains
Please use Jamaica happy music next video.

Man sound like andrew holness narrating
Joke!
The man the sell out most of Jamaica lines to scrap metal

Honestly this train thing is a very good idea, but! This Train is tired it's been there b4 I was born and I'm 54yrs old. The minister of transport should ask the citizen of Jamaica and who lives overseas to contribute a small sum to buy a 8 Carriage train or 10 Carriage that use Electric & Solar, 3million ppl live in Jamaica they can give $100 to $500 and overseas ppl give £10 or 20 US dollars or 20 Canadian to give Jamaican youth them some jobs to fix the train track with the help of a expert to get it done, but this tired train it's a no for me it's modern time now Jamaica Government step up. Don't shame our country any more as it is.
the jlp knows how to restore Jamaica!
Yes because the there the part for the rich and apart for the poor in the carriages
