This paper examined how railway transport infrastructural development can be a critical poverty alleviation tool with respect to Bayelsa State.   Based on two case studies, this paper isolated data pertinent to initiatives towards  construction of railway infrastructural development and poverty elimination.  Using the descriptive approach, the research analysed the roles and impact that railway transportation facilities play in poverty reduction.  The findings revealed four critical insights: (i) there is  a serious policy lapse/oversight in Bayelsa, resulting in zero-railway infrastructure in the  State; (ii) Bayelsa’s zero-railway infrastructure   suggests  apparent self- imposed social deprivation and economic isolation;   (iii) Railway transport infrastructure can generate additional motivating and knock-on effects on economic development opportunities, that can  stimulate further growth with respect to job creation ; and (iv) directly and/or indirectly, reduce cumulative poverty (extreme poverty) and improve the welfare  of inhabitants in the state.  The paper  finally summated  that the development of railway infrastructure  in the state  would contribute robustly towards poverty alleviation through improved economic growth
