Here is the story: kareemsquest.com/kendal-train-crash-the-worst-rail-disaster-in-jamaicas-history/

My Father was on that fatal train wreck sitting in the last coach with his friends he was 19 yrs old and I was just 3 wks old. He told me the entire story how it all went down from the time the train left Kingston and to it's final destination many many years later only because he had migrated to a foreign country two years after the incident occurred and how he and his friends were able to make it back to Kingston. People were very rowdy, drinking, making a lot of noises, singing out loudly and carrying on with their respective partners. He also told me that he had asked my mother (they are both the same age) to go with him and she told him no because she had a young baby to look after good thing she did. Sometimes when I look back at the whole thing I just consider myself to be a very blessed individual (Amen)

I was a student at St Anne's school. Missed the train because I was late, so I watched it leaving me on the train station platform in Kingston. Than God.

So sad to see the Mas George living conditions. I have such a soft spot for the elderly. 😢

I knew a lady who told me about being on the train when it crashed, she was only five years old. I noticed while handing her a cup of tea her hands would shake quite bad. She said all her family did was dust her down and walked off, she was never asked if she was hurt and suffered for the rest of her life.

I love 💕 your program always . Watching fr USA cape code mass

Hi: I worked in Christiana in the late 70s and early 80s and I used to take the train sometimes from Kingston and come off at Kendal and take a minibus to Christiana. So I am familiar with the Kendal Stop.

The Kendal crash was organised by St Anne's Church in 1957..St Anne's school, North Street and Bond Street, my junior school, lost so many children, my brother should have been on that train, but my granny was waiting for permission from our parents in the UK for him to go..it didn't arrive in time for the trip..I can remember that day as clear as yesterday..I lost some of my school friends..May their souls continue to rest in peace 67 years on🙏

My dad was a patient in the hospital , he had a dislocated shoulder, he saw and heard the injured people from the Kendal Crash came to the hospital also, he say they were a lot of screaming and crying all night there, he never forgot that ! So sad tgst happened and crying

What a heart wrenching catastrophe!!!

I know that you want to get the information from Mass George but please help him to fix his house. The house is in a deplorable condition. Please help him to get the house repair. Food for The Poor can assist.

My grandma was on that train and survived. To think her love could have been taken away just like that, God is so good!!!

As people were helping, the wounded other people were robbing the dead and injured.

RIP to all the victims family 😢

My brother Roy and his girlfriend Ruby was on that train. He had his back and head injuries. I don't remember Ruby's injuries.

The Balaclava train crash of the late 1930’s was in fact the deadliest crash!

We will never have this again as we have destroyed the great train service we had. Great.

Excellent video. I am now one of your subscribers :)

Awesome post mi fren 👊

Sooooo sad😢 wow 😳 rip 💔 to all those who lose they life 😱

God is great all the time my mother and father witnessed this Kendall's train crash they were going to Kingston and when they reached near by it was terrible cayous crying yelling bloody seens can you imagine untill this day I remember they died now but memory still linger I am now 72years old we are from Mo Bay

I was about 9 years old at the time. It didn't seem real to me because I heard so many weird stories about the incident. It's only when I got older that it was realized! Every time I passed there I'd try to ask & curiously sought out where it happened. It was a real catastrophe in Jamaica! The stories I heard that happened after, were UNBELIEVABLE!

Will you be told of the thievery that-took-place at Kendal Crash, even from those screaming-for-help by those early onsite .. ?

Nuff respect to de Elder. First time hearing in depth information bout de Kendal crash.

If possible, try and get some help for Mass George. House looks shabby.

My parents was going on that trip but change his mine because my mother was arguing about him again so he didn't bothere going iwas about 10years old

My uncle was in this crash

Mrs Edwards, -Cope was there too, she was at tge sute while her parents who were the first at the scene worked for days, helping all the injured.

Mr george need help ,what can be done for him,my God

That there was a day

Use to live in Royal Flat, the duppy stories that was told about that place, scare me to death as a child.

My paternal grandfather lost a brother,cousins and a few church members in the same tragic accident

I PRAY God's blessings that the rich or wee to do will.help yhe less fortunate My prayer for this ti cone through SHALOM

Great story.. I was a kid then, but remember the tragedy as if it were yesterday. It is said the passengers were unruly and interfered with the brake system between the third and fourth coaches. So the train could not be controlled when it tried to navigate the corner.. The first three coaches with the priests et al were not in the crash.. They traveled back to Kingston unscathed .. weeks after the crash , stories surfaced of persons taking taxis and drivers waiting outside to be paid only to be told the person perished in the crash. It was chaotic. My mom told me of another train crash years before , in St. Elizabeth. Students returning to school perished. Understand that was also terrible The railroad has had its fair share of tragedies….
