With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.

Tillitson collection on railroads creator: Tillitson, George E. Identifier/Call Number: M0165 Physical Description: 50.5 Linear Feet(9 cartons and 99 manuscript storage boxes) Date (inclusive): 1880-1959 Abstract: Notes on the history of railroads in the United States and Canada. Conditions Governing Access The collection is open for research. Note that material is stored off-site and must be requested at least 36 hours in advance of intended use. Provenance Gift of George E. Tillitson, 1955. Special Notes One very useful feature of the material is further described in the two attached pages. This is the carefully annotated study of a good many of the important large railroads of the United States complete within their own files, these to be found within the official state of incorporation. Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.

  • Supplement to CLASSIC TRAINS Magazine 618104 Great Train Stations
    Great Train Stations Supplement to CLASSIC TRAINS magazine 618104 Great train stations MERICA’S great railroad passenger terminals were special in several ways. The grandest A examples combined big-time railroad- ing and high-style architecture. The railroads that built the stations and the communities in which they were located saw them as oppor- tunities to make a good impression. As portals to the outside world, stations were scenes of elaborate civic welcomes and countless pri- vate farewells. The 14 stations pictured in these pages dis- play the many aspects of depot life during the middle decades of the 20th century—the “golden years of railroading.” In each issue of CLASSIC TRAINS magazine, a page is devoted to a distinctive station, big or small, usually a terminal. Most have been demolished, or no longer host passengers, but all felt the pulse of a nation and its trains. © Kalmbach Publishing Co., P.O. Box 1612, Waukesha, WI 53187. Any publication, reproduction, or use without express permission in writ- ing of any text, illustration, or photographic content in any manner is prohibited. Published as a supplement to CLASSIC TRAINS magazine. On the cover: Grand Central Station, Chicago Two graceful and enduring architectural forms—the arch and its three- dimensional variant, the dome—are seen in this late-1960’s view of Baltimore & Ohio’s Capitol Limited at Grand Central Station in Chicago. Overhead, the 119-by-555-foot trainshed is formed of 15 steel arches, each describing a perfect semi-circle. At track level, E8 1447 wears B&O’s herald, with its likeness of the U.S.

Without the support of my parents, Mike and Laurie, I would not have been able to accomplish half of what I have been able to in my life as I have today. Thank you. I would like to thank my sister and brother, Casey and Jacob, for letting me stay on a couch while I was researching or being there to take my mind off of being stressed by talking basketball. I would like to thank the support of the professors I’ve had at USFSP, USF, Seminole Community College, UCF, and Oviedo High School. Without the inspiration they instilled in me for the pursuit of knowledge, I probably would not have accomplished as much as I have academically, nor had the drive. I would also like to thank the staff of The Crow’s Nest, the staff and clientele of the Tavern at Bayboro, and those who I shared an office space with in the Snell House, all of whom continued to push me in my studies here at USFSP.
