All Aboard the New Train at St Nicholas Abbey
Between 1883 and 1937, a 24-mile-long narrow-gauge railway ran from Bridgetown to Belleplaine including a particularly scenic section along the rugged east coast past Bathsheba. The route had some very steep inclines, some very tight bends and involved 98 bridges. Over the years, the railway gradually deteriorated, and the line eventually closed to passengers in 1934 before the tracks were finally lifted in 1938. Now, Larry Warren and his family at St Nicholas Abbey, have launched a fabulous new tourist attraction for Barbados; a new railway line and the first train to run in Barbados for 81 years.
