List of railway stations in Jamaica

Looking out of Kingston railway terminus along the permanent way from near the buffers.

All railway stations in Jamaica closed in October 1992 when passenger traffic abruptly ceased.[1] They are here listed by branch and distance from Kingston.[2] In some cases elevation (height above sea level) is also shown.[3] The Jamaica Railway Corporation resumed operating passenger services in July 2011, before ending them again in August 2012 due to financial difficulties.[4]
