SAL = Seaboard Air Line
ACL = Atlantic Coast Line
Roger Kujawa posted four photos with the comment: "Naples, Florida was on the Seaboard Airline railroad and is now a museum with some upgrades being worked on."
Robert Kjelland: I’ve been there. That is actually a Soo Line caboose. It certainly retired to a milder climate.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post This map indicates the depot was the terminus for the Atlantic Coast Line (ACL), not the Seaboard Air Line (SAL). 1958/59 Naples North Quad @ 24,000 Roger Kujawa: Dennis DeBruler Hey. We are both right. By 1944, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bought both the depot and the Seaboard tracks to Naples after Seaboard discontinued service. The Atlantic Coast Line connected the former Seaboard track to their Fort Myers Southern Branch near Vanderbilt Beach, and resumed passenger service to the depot after an eleven-year absence. This makes it only one of the few railroad depots to have been operated by both the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line Dennis DeBruler: Roger Kujawa Thanks for the details. |
