FEC KWE: Homestead

Florida City looked to be quite an industrious city back in the Railroad's heyday there. Even though FEC in the end probably ran there at a loss, there were still numerous warehouses open to traffic and it seemed like it could have brought in dollars for the RR. Many warehouses with freight doors still stand there today and the only evidence left of the ROW south of Kendall stands between Palm Drive and Krome, while the rest has been absorbed to that evil busway.

Hence, I took that all into consideration when designing the trackwork for this area. And I am still not done.


There may be provisions for CSX to have switching rights here while FEC is responsible for their Card Sound intermodal ramp down south.
