[@tourdefrance4799]

Wow, never thought I'd see this again, made many trips on similar trains forty three years ago....memories!!!

[@spotter3sixty]

Tour Defrance - Glad you enjoyed this.

[@humansavages832]

SPOTTER360 Love to see more of your nice Jamaican trains, please show more, we need to see more! I seen a video of a locomotive, looks like a ex union Pacific railroad locomotive.

[@waynemcfarlane1233]

@@humansavages832 : When Jamaica Railway Corporation was in service they don't buy used locomotives okay 😭🤣

[@JawTooth]

Cool video! I was just reading about this line in Railfan Magazine. This passenger service no longer operates.

[@spotter3sixty]

+Jaw Tooth - Yes, the revived service did not last very long. I am glad that I got the chance to do this video before it was shut down again. It is awesome that Railfan Magazine chose to showcase what is left of Jamaica's railway network in their Oct 2015 issue!

[@JawTooth]

Jamaicansol Thats awesome that you saw the article also. After I read it, I wanted to see if there were any videos of it and I found yours and a few other ones. There are only a couple videos with the passenger train that you rode. That was cool

[@galbeadon]

I'm very jealous, wish Trinidad too had kept her railways. Well done Jamaica! Thanks for sharing your video.

[@marciaamos8461]

well good for Jamaica 🎀

[@johnmillet5281]

Glen Beadon iam a train enthusiast, have a lot to offer as per history of T+T railway.

[@CaribicToursJAMAICA]

COMING SOON! Train Service with new coaches, faster trains, new tracks, state of the art train stations. A Ride Of A Life Time.

[@yornedsivad]

When I was a teen age I use to ride this train from Darling Spring every Saturday morning to Kingston, on top of the train. The things we do in life!!!

[@spotter3sixty]

That was the Port Antonio train...I used take that to the country every summer....I remember always seeing guys on top of the train.

[@aperezvoyages]

Awesome to see Jamaicas railway back! :)

[@gillymilly3017]

That was amazing 🤩 is it still operating 9years later?

[@spotter3sixty]

Unfortunately, no. I was fortunate to record this brief running of passenger trains in Jamaica again

[@stanthompson701]

Brings back great memories.

[@Bajancubano]

What type of equipment is in operation? Good work Jamaica the rail road is an important asset

[@ruthjohnson9025]

What are so many people doing on the steps? As a child, I saw someone fall off one day. It was not a pretty sight.

[@stanthompson701]

JRC has great potential as a transportation system, it can be be a profitable business venture I with smart management...

[@spotter3sixty]

+Stan Thompson - One of those things you think about with a heavy heart...

[@joemoe1219]

Politicians cause the downfall

[@joemoe1219]

They could not. Or did not protect the riders when the reach town. Market Vendors.

[@glitch4465]

Great to see Jamaica has rails again. I'm sure Britain would be happy to provide advice and expertise to construct a route from Kingston to Montego Bay. Hopefully in a few years the railways will look and feel brand new

[@marcopalo9019]

Why should Jamaicans need advice from Britain? Please get rid of that old colonial way of thinking. Jamaicans are quite capable of advanced engineering, especially in railroads. No offence intended, however.

[@crusezable]

I never saw a passenger train in Jamaica .. as a child I was told .. Jamaica use to have it until it crash ... but if they have this now ... I would surely train it once

[@af4k]

I would almost give an arm to go back in time and ride on THAT train in the heyday! Cool times... one love / one ♥ !

[@joemoe1219]

No. It ran until it was No longer safe to come into town. There was even single Car . Quiet and comfortable too Just much longer than the Busses now.

[@lacconstructions]

why people have to keep on standing at door of the train? it's not a bus.

[@spotter3sixty]

The train runs along very hilly terrain so at different parts of the journey the train slows to prevent derailment. Plus this train is donkey-years old. It doesn't have the modern tilt mechanism that allows train to zoom around corners.

[@winstonblack7108]

SPOTTER360 fuck off

[@af4k]

@@winstonblack7108 LMAO - this is a fantastic thread to read - spread over so many years wit varying degrees of humour, no lack a comedy f'shore... ♥ - hey nobody remember the old old ticket fare for real now?? How bout th'2011 fokes? (cool runnin'and duckin' foshelter!)...

[@waynemcfarlane1233]

Trains in the United States don't have that ?

[@mskimkeralee1]

I would love to go on it

[@richmck007]

Is this the restored national train service? Does it run all over Jamaica?

[@spotter3sixty]

rich Mck - Unfortunately, it was a limited restoration of service between Spanish Town and Ewarton. The service has since been discontinued.

[@buntik1687]

Many thanks to Mr Henry.

[@justtime2670]

That's in the wild

[@evetthaxter2377]

Is this for real people hanging on the steps and door? Does life means anything to them. We will hear about in the news

[@spotter3sixty]

Evet Thaxter - As a child riding the trains from Kingston to go visit my grandparents in the countryside, I used to see men (a few of my uncles included) riding on the top of the trains....it was the "craze" of the time...I also know a guy who lost a leg when he was knocked off the train when it entered a tunnel!

[@mikaally8111]

I a student rail engineer and I'm horrified.😣

[@mikaally8111]

I am happy it's discontinued because the whole infrastructure is unsafe.

[@derrickmorgan5952]

They to fix the line to come Kingston

[@waynemcfarlane1233]

To bring back the the Railway service in Jamaica it's going to take over $ 1.8 billion usd ? And passenger service alone can't run a rail system in Jamaica you have to carry cargo.

[@emanciaouterbridge3082]

Absolutely...need cargo to pay for maintenance...but could be done with smart planning ..

[@divinee.155]

We already have cargo train that never stopped it was only passenger trains that stop

[@howardcummings5181]

nice to see it back. but I think no one should allow to ride on the steps

[@daddybify]

please visit our facebook page..jamaica railway corporation and add us...thanks

[@Keighan201]

Y so slow?

[@TremayneDouglas]

Taste & buy guinep!!!

[@gerald6919]

how much is train ride

[@spotter3sixty]

gerald6919 - The service was discontinued some years ago.

[@stauf09]

$50000

[@waynemcfarlane1233]

Why the service was discontinued ?? Please tell the truth

[@spotter3sixty]

Really it sure. It was all hyped for the launch and lasted for a little while.

[@hphinn]

Selfish people rather to be alone in their own cars so this did not last very long

[@gohomeroger9459]

This is a lot of noise

[@spotter3sixty]

old trains...

[@lacconstructions]

i can walk faster than that train, danm that thing is moving slow.

[@divinee.155]
