All these old railway stations should be restore as ihistorical buuldings

[@colleenhenry8022]

They should have fix the old train Station as a museum, do people can visit and remember the accident or share their views

[@Tuckaway]

I used to travel from Kingston to Williamsfield regularly from January 1959 till July 1962 on this railway and remember it fondly. I went to school in Mandeville. I would love to see Jamaican railways running again. JNS, Rugby England.

[@PaulaCalder-qb8wo]

What a tour, appreciate the work and effort. Thank you.

[@FireReid]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ritaanderson311]

I grew up hearing my late mother talking about the Kendal train crash I would’ve never thought the old railroad tracks and station would still be there,so much history.

[@FireReid]

it still standing

[@davebigs]

Wow, I remember that area very well, I used to work at Alcan back in the day. It is so sad to see those two historic train stations at Williamsfield and Kendal just sit in ruin. There is so much potential. I wish someone would look at developing that as a tourist attraction. That coffee is very historic also. They could offer short train rides between Williansfield and Kendal, have gift shops at each location, and also have a coffee shop.....

[@FireReid]

I dont know why government dont fix up the place history

[@camilleb2951]

I love that idea, I am picturing the tourists/passengers sipping their coffee on the train ride between the two stops 😊

[@rhinochino]

Fire Reid : it takes money to build up the place. We are being exploited by the the rich countries, world bank, now Chinese BRI

[@peachesbarrett6693]

I just heard about the Kendall crash incident a few days ago and I am 52 years old.So I was hoping that You would show the exact spot where the incident occurred.I love the quaintness of the place and how fruitful it is.I would luv to visit there one day.They should make this a historical site.

[@FireReid]

Greetings I could do that for you no problem indeed. Great point

[@dollbrown41]

@@FireReid Great video, only need a little more details on these historical sites. Even the mud lake, how was it created. Give us more ,which demands attention. Good luck.

[@FireReid]

thanks for the support doll brown keep the info coming in

[@anthonystewart7675]

@@dollbrown41 the mud lake was created from the need to store the waste from the processing of the raw earth to the actual bauxite they need for export....a process that required the use of a lotbif other chemicals

The crash site is in kendal District, the kendal train station is in Williamsfield. Two different places. Each year in September the Church across the Kendal police station keeps a church service dedicated to the crash victims where actual offsprings of survivors of the crash come and share their stories.

[@FireReid]

I will love to attend that service

[@ShanonHibbert]

@@FireReid it it usually held the first Sunday in September but due to covid 19 I'm not sure if it will be held this year

Please note. There are no plants coming out of the mud lake. That's because it's too toxic for plants to grow in it. What a tragedy.

[@huntleyhepburn4602]

fire you have shown us williamsfield and not kendal. Kendal is just below the mud lake,

Exactly this is not Kendal

Exactly coffee factory in williamsfield not kendal. Pickle pepper factory is close to kendal that's shooters hill.i was born in williamsfield

[@nicholasreid1843]

Heard that the government had told the airport authority of Jamaica to look at the feasibility of building a airport on the mud lake..it has been out of commission for more than a decade now so I guess testing is taking place to determine the feasibility.

The concrete thing is a water tank, and the pipe by the mud lake is to keep the lake moist so that acidic dust doesn't blow in the neighborhood

[@FireReid]

soft but when dry it get hard plus they always water the mud lake when it extra dry

Does the mud lake ruin the ground water in the Area? It sits at higher elsvstion than the areas that have water wells such as Porus. As you know liquid travels downhill, even underground.

[@FireReid]

I don't think so

[@michaelasante2509]

@@FireReid Yes it does. We do not realize the environment degradation that results from these mining activities. Watch what will happen if the Cockpit area is mined and the natural hydrology is disturbed. The western half of the island is linked to the Cockpit area. Large rivers in this area are linked through underground rivers that originate in the Cockpit and flow into St. Ann, Manchester, St. Elizabeth, Clarendon and of course Trelawny. A lot of the damage to be done is irreversible.
