The old train chugged along the narrow tracks around hairpin bends and the steepest inclines anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It passed the most scenic lookouts and fishing villages, introducing Bajans to parts of the island that they had never seen. Imagine this tourism feature. Alas, the cpmpany failed and government abandoned it! The tracks where shipped to England and melted down for steel in support of the war effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
