brechin castle was my backyard playground growing up i lived in dow villiage ,fishing at d four ponds,climbing d mountain of sugar bare feet d gud old days
We live in a country that do not appreciate it's history,it is sad that we so feels that we that must be copy cats that we are willing to forget the past but only willing to relive it in videos ,sad ,so sad .
My grandfather...Henry Agustus Gorden-French retired from Trinidad Railways around 1928 after 36 years of service. I believe he trained the Junior men and drove the "passenger" trains.
+bayswater melanie your Grandfather H. A. Gordon-French was born in April of 1868 and appointed to the Trinidad Government Railways on 16th September 1903. Please contact me at galbeadon@gmail.com
Hey Glen,I appreciate the footage. It brought back a lot of memories when I was a boy growing up in Diamond Village. Do you have any more pics and videos?
+Sherwyn Bailey Hello Sherwyn, I'm very pleased the video brought back memories of the Caroni railway. To answer your question I do have other videos on my TH-cam site, look for Trinidad Railway History which is three parts and of course the other three parts of Trinidad's lost Railways.
bighornize, thanks for commenting. Can you tell me why D8 was changed to D9 and also, do you know what happened to D9, D12 and D14? In 2005 the three engines stored behind the cane truck maintenance shed were taken away. Do you know where these locos went?
Not necessarily that, I believed they stopped the railways because they were uneconomical, and in the case of Caroni, possibly because the company, Caroni 1975 LTD. was due to shut down soon.
Jezey07 the scene in 8:02 is the point where the line split into a junction between Monkey town and Debe. The small box was called Monkey town box. Sadly, this is all gone now. I was last there in 2012 and nothing remains.
Glen please send me your contact information ASAP Also send me an update on the book "RAILWAYS OF TRINIDAD ". this book needs to be added to the school curriculum.
I want my homeland that raped us on and still do to at least have a road like theirs cctv police and army, politicians that aren’t corrupt inside out and much much more time to wake up economic development in the Caribbean islands
150 years of railways in Trinidad 🇹🇹 and Tobago

many times d estate police tried to catch us thiefing d cane
But why did they stopped the trains? is it that parts and stuff were hard to find for them?
Not necessarily that, I believed they stopped the railways because they were uneconomical, and in the case of Caroni, possibly because the company, Caroni 1975 LTD. was due to shut down soon.
But it's sad to know that none of our trains no longer run and I've never seen a train
I saw one by the EMBED Land Thing they ah lil before
Hi glen are those trains name after the area’s that it was servicing
Excelente video
i rode on top of d carriage selecting d best cane as a boy

Damn should add more change in Trinidad
Glen @ 8:02 in the vid where was that ? You think it's still there I would love to go see it
Jezey07 the scene in 8:02 is the point where the line split into a junction between Monkey town and Debe. The small box was called Monkey town box. Sadly, this is all gone now. I was last there in 2012 and nothing remains.
Glen Beadon on my way to knollys tunnel I would check out the sugar heritage village and see what I can see there
i was an apprentice in caroni
Speaking of That, what ever happened to Arima?
She was scrapped around the 1930s I think
What ultimately happened to D11 does anyone know?
Glen please send me your contact information ASAP Also send me an update on the book "RAILWAYS OF TRINIDAD ". this book needs to be added to the school curriculum.

I want my homeland that raped us on and still do to at least have a road like theirs cctv police and army, politicians that aren’t corrupt inside out and much much more time to wake up economic development in the Caribbean islands
