The Trinidad Government Railway ran from 1876 until its closure in 1968. Like many railways around the world, it was shut down because of competition from cars. Today its old central station in Port of Spain, the Trinidad Government Railway Building, also known as City Gate, is a bus terminal and home of the Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC). It sits across from the South Quay Lighthouse on Port of Spain’s waterfront, down the street from Independence Square and a Kentucky Fried Chicken location rumored to be one of the busiest KFCs in the world.
…Trains, train travel, and all things railroad-related.
