Spanish Town railway station opened in 1845 and closed in 1992 when all passenger services in Jamaica abruptly ceased.[1] It provided rail services to Kingston and Montego Bay, Port Antonio, Ewarton and New Works. It was 11.75miles from the Kingston terminus.[2] It is on the list of designated National Heritage Sites in Jamaica.
The station was built in 1845 in Jamaica Georgian style from brick on a stone base.[3] The roof overhang is supported by timber posts in wall mounted cast iron brackets on its northern side and by wall mounted timber brackets on its southern side.[3] It has sash windows, solid recessed panel doors and a long zinc hip roof.[3] In 2003 it was reported as being in "very poor condition" and "in need of major repairs".[4]
In addition to the station and its single, twin sided platform there were sidings, an engine shed and a junction between the Kingston to Montego Bay main line and the Spanish Town to Ewarton branch.[5]
In 1910 the third class fare from Spanish Town to Kingston was 1/- (one shillings); first class was about double.[6]
