A Stop Sign installed after March 2019 officially puts an end (at least for now) to a Historic section of railroad track built by SAL Seaboard Air Line in 1926. I'm referring to the last 12 miles of the CSX Homestead Subdivision where in this video you'll the signals all folded up at this particular railroad crossing near Gold Coast RR Museum ironically.

Nice one! One thing I noticed about this crossing is that the signals are not facing upward like the others, which is interesting.

Sounds like you maybe checking out Diamond Fertilizer Company. Rail service would be great for that company. But I doubt CSX would even consider it. Some larger companies seem to be switching back to rail from trucking. Also hope you can get back to Palmetto, FL some day to check out those unusual crossings.

I will be showcasing Diamond Fertilizer in my next video. I agree, CSX seemingly doesn't want any part of this line. I was talking to my friend in Bradenton, and plan to return in the next couple of months. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Tommy! Hope all is well.

Interesting that they left that piece of rail on that abandoned spur. I wonder if there is anything of value inside that relay case.

Interesting video. I wonder if there are any old video recordings of these places from when they were in service. Any old rail fans around o took pictures or video from years ago? That would be cool to see. Keep up the great work. Thank You for sharing. Greg

Awesome video! The ugliness of abandonment must be shown. Yet I prefer to see in intact line, even in this horrendous condition. Once a line is removed, it is thousands if not millions of times more difficult to restore it just because a million vested interests come into play and fight viciously against it. Just once, I’d love to see the opposite situation happen in that a highway is removed and replaced by a railroad line. Come on Grupo Mexico, build a new intermodal, auto rack and trans load facility in South Miami Dade County. And restore either the ex SAL or the FEC (with Ludlam corridor as well).

You're right, it is a million times more difficult once a line is removed to get it back. I think we have a better chance of seeing pigs fly. Have you heard something concerning Grupo Mexico building a facility? Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Armando!

@@railrol82 For years, even way before the the recession of 2008, there have been talks of building a big new container inland port to take the containers from the South Florida ports and then sort them in this new facility instead of at the ports. Several states, including California, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia, have these facilities. It creates room and capacity at the ports, since the stacked containers take up a lot of space which can be put to other uses and can reduce the size of the port while increasing its capacity. In Florida, Moore Haven, Pahokee, Belle Glade, and other places in that area have been considered for such a facility, which would definitely be served by FEC, maybe even CSX as well. And where FEC is, Norfolk Southern will have a presence also. Grupo Mexico is the owner of FEC, Texas Pacifico, and the far larger Ferromex. They have the bucks to build such a facility, although they certainly will get some funding like FEC did for its Ft Lauderdale Port Everglades facility (which was originally planned to be built in Miami Dade). Environmentalists have killed off all these proposals near Lake Okeechobee and other proposals near Ft Pierce, Ft Myers and Port St Lucie have grown in expense not only because of challenges by the local citizens but because of demands for population growth. A new facility is needed for Miami Dade because the FEC Miami Springs facility is at capacity and cannot be expanded any more. Neither can the auto rack facility. The rest of the yard is used for general freight cars and rock hoppers and gondolas. If I were them, I’d run the Medley rock trains through Miami Springs yard, go around the Miami International Airport and use the CSX line to Palm Beach and then use the unused new connection to the FEC and head north to where the rocks are needed. The few rock cars needed in Broward can be interchanged over the still likewise unused Iris connection. The CSX Opa Locka yard has room and can be used for the rock cars and maybe also general freight cars. This creates room at the Miami Springs facility. CSX can likewise serve any new intermodal and port facilities built in South Miami Dade County, which along with Broward is the closest port facility to Brazil Venezuela and Central America, as well as the Caribbean. Again, railroads, let’s put the new connections to use instead of letting them rot! South Miami Dade has the room for these new facilities and it’s about time that rails win one instead of the highway getting everything.

The Homestead Subdivision is looking sadder and sadder in every video that you are posting about it. Is there any chance that the Homestead Subdivision could ever be used as a commuter line?

Funny you should that... Tri Rail, the local commuter line, has made 2 offers to CSX and have been shot down twice! Unfortunately we have a better chance of seeing pigs fly. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Thomas!

I'm just wondering when will CSX or FEC Remove the Posts for the Railroad Crosses? They could be using them somewhere else and getting some Use out of them for when Trains are coming! But instead they're right here remaining Abandoned and will NEVER EVER be in Use!
