[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Allen Jenkins Kozzie, thanks for your interest in the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, and The Atlantic Coast Line Railway, which became the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, in 1966. The Amtrak-The National Railroad Passenger Corp. Superceeded all national passenger service on May 1, 1971. Abruptly. The only sevice not involved, was the Sourthern Railway System. From the city of Jacksonville, Florida, north and west, the SCL was competitive to the SRR, and The Louisville & Nashville Railroad. South of J-Ville, the SCL turned southwest, away from the only other compeditor, the Florida East Coast Railway. The rail weight capacity dropped, 90 lb. (US pound weight) to 115 lb. per three foot yard(US yard lenght). In 1985, the weight restriction on the EMD SD50 locomotives, Isolated the heavy motive power to Lakeland, FL, to Tampa, FL. and north on the old SAL line from Lakeland to Baldwin, FL, 15 miles west of Jacksonville, FL. So the alleged monoply on rail service existed, until the world class compeditor CSX Transportation Corp. was formed in 1982. Bus, airline, auto transportation eliminated the hope for rail passenger service, a long time ago. Everyone in the world loved the "WED-way People Mover," and the monorail service which Walt Disney brought to Orange County, Orlando, Florida, with Walt Disney World, however no one forsaw the impending, need for such mass transportation. SCL, I know theywere "Pulling For You," but what a boring paint job! Enjoy Your Study on the Southeastern United States of America! ACJ.
