On 26th October’20, Jamaican Bauxite mining company, Jamalco mobilised work crews and equipment to remove a train that derailed between the communities of Rymesbury and Gravel Hill in Clarendon amid the recent heavy rains.
On the crash site late Monday afternoon, Jamalco representatives were observed putting in place the necessary equipment, including generators and spotlights, to assist in the process of removing the train from the tracks.
Jamalco also placed security personnel at the site, which is approximately 800 metres from the Rymesbury main road, where two trucks offloaded gravel to be used in the creation of a path along the train tracks for vehicles to drive.
Rymesbury residents said damage to the train tracks during the downpour caused the bauxite train to derail.
