Santeria Chicken Strikes Again at Abandoned Railroad Crossing

Күн бұрынSanteria Chicken Strikes Again at Abandoned Railroad Crossing
This is part of the last 12 miles of the CSX Homestead Subdivision that are officially out of service as of March 2019. These train tracks were originally put in place by Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1926 in attempt to bring tourism to the area via passenger trains and even had a connection with the Miami Extension of the FEC Overseas Railway not far from here. After the Great Depression in 1929 it got switched over to freight service. There is a historic SAL train station too that has seen better days nearby. Most of the Railroad Crossings on this line have been tampered with either by CSX removing signals or theft and the line itself has overgrown vegetation some as big as 10 feet in many places.

Up here in Milwaukee they poured concrete for a sidewalk at a 3 track Xing that never saw a train again. Since that. Xing isn't marked abandoned or exempt the paving crew did it by the book and therefore the requisite markings are applied. Somehow Xmas turkey dinner is not as appealing after you view "One flew over the VooDoo mess" esp when the one CD is titled Yummy Yummy. If the downtown Miami 👧 were there then OK. Oh yes excellent find with the CSX metal dog tag grade crossing inventory

@billmorris2613 2 жыл бұрын
RailROL82 Absolutely. I spent over two years trying to save 34 miles of a branch main in Louisiana and Mississippi. Unlike there in homestead this track was in very good shape. It was at one time part of the Y&MV RR’s main line from Memphis to New Orleans. They had just put in 20,000 new cross ties, rebuilt all 23 bridges over nice creeks and rivers, in the mid to late 90s. All of the bridges still had crowns in them. The rail was 112 lb welded rail for 30 miles that was installed new in the mid 90s. The rest was 4 miles of 90 lb jointed rail. All the curves were banked and most of it had a 40 MPH speed limit on it. The company that owned it only wanted $3,000,000.00 for it. Which included some equipment. The good news was that the company that bought it pulled it up and it was relaid at another location. We wanted it to run a tourest railroad using our Mikado Steam locomotive, that was built in the Southern Pacific shops in New Orleans in Feb 1921.

You are showing us another overgrown crossing on the CSX Homestead Subdivision. Seeing all this overgrown right of way is really getting depressing. It is interesting to see that the agricultuaral growers are creating weed-free areas near their properties. Nobody want to do anything clean up of the CSX right of way though. How long have those sacrificial chickens been on the ground near those tracks. The people who had those chickens sacrificed did not get their problems taken away since there has not been a train on the tracks in years. I am guessing that you have a few more street crossings to show us before we come to the end of the HOmestead Subdivision. Stay safe especially now with this new omnicron variant of COVID going around.

The new Krome crossing equipment, plus the upgraded grade crossing are going to waste. Also, in the ‘80s the FEC line in Dadeland was completely redone from Sw 80 ST TO Sw 98 St with all new grade crossings, new relay cases and crossing equipment, gates and lights and new 115 pound welded rail and concrete ties. I saw this myself at that time. Acquaintances have told me that the same thing was done at the Cutler Ridge area, and I believe them. All this was taken away and ripped up in 1988 and replaced with a putrid busway. The politicians are 100% anti rail and pro highway, busway and trail. They will block even rail upgrades but will move hell and high water to get a freeway built.

A few small customers would not justify reopening the line. An intermodal and auto rack facility in the Florida City area would justify the rehabilitation of the line. Another factor is that the population density along the line is not enough to justify passenger rail service along this abandoned line. The better line was the FEC line that was turned into a busway.
