Railways in

Belize

British Honduras, the country which is now Belize, had just one railway. This ran from the coastal town of Stann Creek (present day Dangriga) inland for a distance of at least 25 miles (40km), and transported bananas. It was built between around 1911 and 1914. It appears have closed in 1937, after the local banana industry was wiped out by disease; however, one report describes the railway as active in the 1950s. Information about the line is sparse.

A line proposed at the end of the 19th century for a line from Belize City to Guatemala was never constructed.
