Martininique has now<sup>(2018)</sup> only one railway line in operation: The little-known 2.5&nbsp;km long [[Le Train des Plantations]] is a heritage railway that runs from the Rhum Museum in [[Sainte-Marie, Martinique|Sainte-Marie]] through some sugarcane and banana plantations over two Bailey bridges to the Banana Museum.

In former times several narrow gauge sugarcane railways existed.<ref>[http://www.manioc.org/gsdl/collect/patrimon/archives/PAP11217.dir/PAP11217.pdf ''Chemins de fer a la Martinique.''] Imprimerie du Gouvernment, Fort-de-France, 1880.</ref> [[Saint-Pierre, Martinique|Saint-Pierre]] had horse-drawn trams, which had an unusually narrow gauge. At least two steam locomotives are preserved in an optically refurbished condition, but not operational.
