Seminole Gulf Railway Explorations
Fort Myers! What a stronghold for shortlines operations. The Seminole Gulf railway, a healthy southwest Florida railroad, utilizes it's fleet of B39-8's to move building products, propane, refrigerated goods, aggregate and scrap metal from their terminus in Fort Myers to the interchange at Arcadia, Florida with CSX. The trains hauled by this line are full classic Florida products, and make a nice looking train, not to mention the awesome blue orange and yellow paint scheme of the locomotives. I'll be posting several of the industries from this line in the next few weeks. There are several modelable opportunities to be found on this line. I'm even drawing a few track plans myself. I hope to find some way to incorporate the entire system into a track plan one day, focusing on the four layout design elements of the Arcadia interchange, fly ash transload facility, Bayshore, and Fort Myers.
