Rail transport in Belize

An 1888 map (British Honduras, Usher, 1888) identifies a number of proposed routes for a Belize (city) to Guatemala Railway.

A Brief History of Pomona and the North Stann Creek Valley, taking information from the David Rollinson book, states the number of former railways in Belize as (at least) eight: A 1965 map (see right) shows the route of the Stann Creek Railway.

The railway was 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge, and operated from 1913 till 1937, when it was abandoned.

Many remains are still visible along the Hummingbird Highway (between Dangriga and Belmopan).

Belize Estate & Produce Co Ltd railway ran from Hill Bank, at the south end of a lagoon on the New River, west through Sierra de Agua to Gallon Jug, an abandoned community about 10 km from the Guatemala border.
