Description
List of latitude and longitude coordinates for the portion of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad running through Central Florida. The Atlantic Coast Line was formally established in 1889 and became a major interstate railway system in the southeastern United States. In 1902, the Atlantic Coast Line extended its services into Florida when it purchased all of the Plant tracks. In Central Florida, these lines included the Sanford and Everglade Railroad. In 1967, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad was formed and took over all of the tracks operated by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Seaboard Air Line.
