All railway stations in Jamaica closed in October 1992 when passenger traffic abruptly ceased.[1] They are here listed by branch and distance from Kingston.[2] In some cases, elevation (height above sea level) is also shown.[3] The Jamaica Railway Corporation resumed operating passenger services in July 2011, before ending them again in August 2012 due to financial difficulties.[4]
