Trivia Time: Did You Know…? |
Jamaica was the first country in the Western world to construct a railway, even before the United States .
1845 The first railway line built in Jamaica opened on November 21. The line ran 15 miles from Kingston to Spanish Town. It was also the first rail line to be built in any of Britain's colonies. The Earl of Elgin, Jamaica's Governor presided over the opening cermonies, by the late 1860s the line extended 105 miles to Montego Bay. |
