Demerara-Essequibo Railway

The Demerara-Essequibo Railway stretched along the West Coast Demerara from Vreed en Hoop on the left bank of the Demerara River to Parika on the Essequibo River.

The first section of the Demerara-Essequibo Railway was laid down up to Greenwich Park, then was extended to Parika in 1914.
