General Information

Come and explore the hidden treasure of Trinidad’s old railway heritage sites found in various areas around the country. The Trinidad Government Railways system operated until 1968 and has since been abandoned. The old railway lines run through some of Trinidad’s major towns and villages that possess strong cultural value and meaning.

Three sites along the old railway, Arima, Debe and Point Fortin, have been recreated into unique tourist attractions whereby tourists will experience the Amerinidian, East Indian and African aspects of Trinidad’s multicultural society in a natural environment. The old California Car train has been remodelled into a “trini style” excursion train and will be used as the main mode of transportation to and from the respective heritage sites during our three day package. On each of the three days a different culture will be experienced.

The international nature seeking tourist is encouraged; preferably those of a mature age group who want to relax and enjoy sweet calypso and soca music while witnessing the natural beauty of the flora and fauna within Trinidad’s biodiverse, primary forests. Modern bathroom facilities and sleeping accommodations will be provided on the remodelled train however, tourists will have the opportunity to stay in culturally influenced housings and to dress, cook and dance in the respective cultural ways.

Tourists will be shuttled from the Piarco International Airport to the new California car train station in Sangre Grande in order to begin their culturally diversified and environmentally conscious journey.
