Gregory Park railway station opened in 1845 and closed in 1992.[1] It served the Gregory Park sugar estate on the Kingston to Montego Bay line, 6.5miles from the Kingston terminus.[3] It was destroyed by fire sometime after closure.[2]
The station was a two-story, timber building The ground floor had timber doors and sash windows.[4] The upper floor was partially cantilevered using a series of angled timber arms to the upper front elevation to form a canopy over the platform with a veranda above.[4] The roof of the building was a T-shaped gable end.[4]
In 1910 the third class fare from Gregory Park to Kingston was 6d (sixpence); first class was about double.[5]
