great post man ....

i am sure if those train tracks were kept and upgraded over time we would not have the traffic situation we now find ourselves in ...

now if they have to bring back the trains the govt will have to remove all the squatters who have more rights than regular land owners now mind u

Last train to San Fernando

Postby link » September 22nd, 2011, 11:17 am

And if you miss- this one-
You nevah catch another one....!


Who would have known the ironical truth of that refrain..??
.
Trinidad Government Railways - cancelled without public consultation or explanation in 1965. You can always trust some governments to put selfish, personal or trivial priorities over the greater good.( It was rumoured that there was corruption here......hmmm which party was in power ? )

About charcoal-fired steam-engine trains, well, you have to ride one to really understand.
Catch de las' train here.

Mighty Spitfire Lyrics:Last train to San Fernando

It's the last train to San Fernando
The last train to San Fernando
And if you miss this one
There'll never be another one
So let's bitty-bitty boom-boom
To San Fernando

Last night I met sweet Dorothy
Said, "Tomorrow I am joining in matrimony."
("Do it now, John!")
She said, "If you act right
You can take me out tonight
And we'll wine and dine but be back on time."

It's the last train to San Fernando
It's the last train to San Fernando
And if you miss this one
There'll never be another one
So let's bitty-bitty boom-boom
To San Fernando

Said, "I'm marrying right into society
Be careful of the place you are taking me
Because if you slip, I'll slide
And I'll never get to be a bride."
And we'll bitty-bitty boom-boom to San Fernando
("What is this?")

It's the last train to San Fernando
("Bitty-bitty-bitty!")
Last train to San Fernando
And if you miss this one
There'll never be another one
So let's bitty-bitty boom-boom
To San Fernando

("Sing it, Keely!")
Diplomatically, I asked Dorothy to dance
("How else?")
There was nothing on my mind but romance
I said to myself, "Oooh boy
Better beat this iron while it's hot."
And we'll bitty-bitty boom-boom to San Fernando

It's the last train to San Fernando
("Hush-a-baby!")
Last train to San Fernando
And if you miss this one
There'll never be another one
So let's bitty-bitty boom-boom
To San Fernando

It's the last train to San Fernando
The last train to San Fernando
(quiet)

Let's bitty-bitty boom-boom to San Fernando!
(loud)
