Jamaica Railways
From Graces Guide
Kingston, Jamaica.
Paul Coulthard Dewhurst, mechanical engineer.
The Railways of Jamaica, constructed from 1845, were the first railway lines opened to traffic outside Europe and North America, and the second British Colony after Canada's Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad of 1836 to receive a railway system. Construction started only twenty years after George Stephenson's Stockton and Darlington Railway commenced operations in the United Kingdom
