This is the third abandoned railroad crossing (it never had gates but the signals are folded up) on the last 12 miles of the CSX Homestead Subdivision. This historic railway was built in 1926 by Seaboard Air Line to bring tourism to the area via a passenger line and connect to the overseas railroad with the FEC tracks that ran parallel to US 1 which eventually went into the Florida Keys and Key West (First train to arrive in Key West was 1912). Ironically, the Homestead Sub only lasted as a passenger line for 3 years, 1926-1929 and then was converted into freight until its demise. SAL eventually became Seaboard Coast Line then Seaboard Systems and finally CSX. This line played a vital role in the development of Miami and South FL as we know it.
