context_page_description: The Trinidad Rapid Railway is a proposed passenger railway system in Trinidad and Tobago.
context_section_description: On 11 April 2008, the TriniTrain consortium of Alstom Transport SA, Alstom T&T Ltd, Bouygues Construction and RATP Développement announced it had been selected by the government to plan and build two new passenger railway lines in Trinidad. WSP was advising the government on the routes.
  In a meeting with then Prime Minister Patrick Manning on 28 April 2009, Minister of Works & Transport, Colm Imbert said construction of the Trinidad Rapid Railway would commence in mid-2010, with the first train rolling out of the capital city approximately 36 to 39 months later as detailed by the National Infrastructure Development Company Limited (NIDCO).
  In September 2010, the project was scrapped.
  In 2015, Under the Administration of the new Prime Minister, Dr. Rowley, the project was reinitiated. However, in 2016, the project was scrapped again due to falling oil prices affecting the economy of Trinidad and Tobago.
