Description
Brochure listing the Seaboard Airline Railroad time tables for 1948. The brochure illustrates the benefits of traveling to Florida by rail. The railroad dates back to 1832 when the Portsmouth & Roanoke Rail road was chartered in Virginia. The company was reorganized as the Seaboard & Gaston Railroad and the Raleigh & August Air-Line Railroad to form the Seaboard Air Line System, which expanded through the south. The Orlando rail station was razed in 1955. By the 1960s, the railroad was a major competitor of the Atlantic Coast Line and eventually merged with ACL in 1967. Amtrak took over operations in 1971.
