Шаблон:Infobox station Albany railway station opened in 1896,[1] closed in 1975,[2] reopened in 1977 and closed for good in 1978. It was on the Bog Walk to Port Antonio branch line, Шаблон:Convert from the Kingston terminus,[3] and served the surrounding agricultural community, providing a means for bananas to reach and be exported from Port Antonio. It was destroyed by fire sometime after closure.[4]

Architecture

The station was a single story wooden building with sash windows.[5] The pitched roof was extended to form a canopy over the platform on all four sides of the building.[5]

Track layout

In addition to the platform serving the through line, there was a second platform on the opposite side of the station building to provide a passing loop.[5] There was also a freight siding.[5]

Fares

In 1910 the third class fare from Albany to Kingston was 3/6 (three shillings and sixpence); first class was about double.[6]
