High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Bog Walk to Port Antonio was built to serve the the banana, cacao, citrus and coconut districts of St Catherine, St Mary and Portland. The line operated from 1896 to 1975 and 1977 to 1978. It was 54 miles (87 km) long. The ruling gradient was 1 in 63 with the line climbing approximately 550 feet (170 m) in 18 miles (average gradient 1 in 173) from Bog Walk (approximately 250 feet) to its summit at Highgate (approximately 800 feet) then descending ~750 feet in just 9 miles (average gradient 1 in 63) to the Wag Water Bridge (just above sea level) and continuing for another 27 miles (43 km) more or less on the level and along the coast to Port Antonio.
