All aboard the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, or the Sugar Train, the Caribbean's only rail excursion. The Sugar Train follows the 1912 narrow gauge track used to bring sugar cane into Basseterre. The passenger cars are modern, the hostesses mix pina coladas and rum punches and a local choir entertains with gospel melodies. And it chugs along on Caribbean time, covering 18 miles in 3 hours. All aboard! Your photo journey follows.

The Depot	Sit indoors or outside?	Little engine that could.	Across the island
Past the rock quarry	Bringing traffic to a halt	Mountains on the left	Atlantic below on the right
Mount Liamuiga	Bridge ahead	A careful crossing	Farmer in his field
Cane and coast	Into the heart of a cane field	Past a school yard ...	Everyone waves at the Sugar Train . . .
Young and old	Abandoned sugar windmill	St. Eustatius in the distance
