Editing Transport in Guyana (section)

===Rail transport===
Commercial [[rail transport|railway]] services for both passengers and cargo were operated until 1974. Two lines operated - the [[Demerara-Essequibo Railway]], from Vreed en Hoop to Parika ({{convert|18.5|mi|km|disp=or|order=flip|abbr=on}}) and the [[Demerara-Berbice Railway]], from Georgetown to Rosignol ({{convert|65|mi|km|disp=or|order=flip|abbr=on}}). With the upgrading of the West Coast Demerara/East Bank Essequibo and the East Coast Demerara/West Coast Berbice roadways, the Government decided in the mid-1970s to cease operating the railway services, which were being run at a loss. In the [[Matthew's Ridge]] area, there is a {{convert|32|mi|km|1|order=flip|abbr=on}} railway service.

A railway service was once operated in Linden for the movement of bauxite ore. However trucks are now used to transport the bauxite ore.
