Bringing back the Trains
by
Austin Mitchell
Most countries in the world have trains. It is said that Jamaica had one of the first train service. However, many people doubt the feasibility of restarting the train service. Trains are very expensive to run. My understanding is that it might affect the agreement with the various toll operators. It is also being said that the trains could relieve our roads of a lot of these heavy vehicles whose constant use help to mash up our roads. It might provide a safer way for school children  to travel to school. Will the trains be able to charge competitive fares and still make a profit? If the trains are to run again there will have to be a lot of rehabilitation of the tracks. So I say by all means bring back the trains, but before you bring them back do a proper feasibility study. It doesn't make any sense starting the service and then running out of money in a year's time.
 I remember my cousin, Marcia, she lived in Troja, St. Catherine with her grandmother. When she came to visit her other grandmother in Glengoffe, also in St. Catherine, she had to use the trains. When I lived in Independence City I used to take the train to work. The End.
