Train stuff in St.John Antigua??
Author: railcity

I am thinking about go to Antigua next May 2014 instead of riding the Sunset Limited. Is there Train Stuff to do down in Antigua or train rides?

Looks like there is/was a sugar cane plantation RR on Antigua:

And Antigua did produce a neat set of RR stamps in 1986:

Try near by St. Kitts for an active scenic railway.

Your going to quite possibly the most beautiful island in the Caribbean and your want to do train stuff? What's wrong with you? Do the Sunset instead. Antigua for you is a waste.

Antigua is beautiful and I think you would very much enjoy your visit there.

But it will be there for the foreseeable future. With Boardman in charge at Amtrak, the Sunset
Limited may not be.

Amtrak equipment should be in better shape than the Antigua High Speed Rail Sugar Cane Express, well Acela certainly, I hope.
