A Blast from the Past: The First Coach to Somerset on Bermuda Railway Step back in time with this image of the first gasoline-powered passenger coach of the Bermuda Railway, making its way to Somerset at full speed. The Bermuda Railway, a 21.7-mile common carrier line, was a significant milestone in Bermuda's transportation history, operating between 1931 and 1948. The railway spanned most of the archipelago, connecting St. George in the east to Sandys Parish, Somerset, in the west. This single carriage, filled with curious passengers, showcases the excitement and innovation that came with the arrival of this new mode of transport. The Bermuda Railway was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its creators, who sought to improve the island's transportation infrastructure. Although the railway only operated for a brief period, it left an indelible mark on Bermudian history. The coach in this photograph, with its gleaming paintwork and puffs of smoke billowing from the engine, embodies the spirit of adventure and progress that characterized the early days of this remarkable transportation system. Today, the Bermuda Railway stands as a reminder of the past, a testament to the island's rich history, and a source of inspiration for future generations.
