Frankfield
Location within Jamaica
Frankfield railway station was the terminus of a 21-mile railway branch line from May Pen serving the eponymous market town, 55.25 miles (88.92 km) from the Kingston terminus.[1] It opened in 1925[2] with the completion of the final 9¼ mile extension on the branch, and closed in 1974[3] when the branch itself closed due to a lack of maintenance.[4] It has since been demolished.[5]
