    I have just finished reading a book about the railways of Jamaica which prompted a little research on-line. Jamaica still intends to reopen its railways system.

    Another visit to the railways of Jamaica, courtesy, this time, of H.G. Forsythe in the September 1963 edition of the Railway Magazine. .....

    I have been reading historic copies of the Railway Magazine again. This time it was a bound copy of the magazines from 1963. ........ I came across an article about the Railways of Jamaica in the September 1963 edition which was written by H. G. Forsythe.

    Interesting to note that the investment needed to rehabilitate the Jamaican network is sought from the same source currently investing so heavily in infrastructure right across sub-Saharan Africa, whilst we in "the west" continue our befuddled navel gazing.
