About the Book

A MASSIVE TRAIN CRASH IN JAMAICA, WEST INDIES. Regarded as the world's worst train crash when it occurred. An estimated 171 people died, and 700 injured. Love, passion, infatuation, desperation, cruelty, impromptu prayers, jumping out windows, robbing dead bodies, unable to identify many dead bodies, all found their places in this fiction/non-fiction work, told the way EARL VENDRYES CAMPBELL is known to tell thrillers. This tragedy did not take place at the outset.

Several activities preceded the crash.

A touching, and an unforgettable love story unfolds. You will be met face-to-face with Jamaican culture. The book concludes with a touching Chapter: BEYOND THE GRAVE. Are you brave enough to take this train ride? Let's depart from Kingston with Montego Bay for our intended destination.
