RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle. -

Seminole Gulf Railway - Wikipedia
9/8/2019 Seminole Gulf Railway - Wikipedia Seminole Gulf Railway The Seminole Gulf Railway (reporting mark SGLR) is a short Seminole Gulf Railway line freight and passenger excursion railroad headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, that operates two former CSX Transportation railroad lines in Southwest Florida. The company operates CSX's former Fort Myers Subdivision, which runs from Arcadia south to North Naples via Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, Estero, and Bonita Springs. They also operate another former CSX line that runs from Oneco south through Sarasota. Seminole Gulf acquired the lines in November 1987 and operates its own equipment, though CSX continues to own each line's right-of-way, which Seminole Gulf operates on under a long-term lease agreement.[1] The Seminole Gulf Railway has a commonly owned affiliated company, the Bay Colony Railroad Corp. (reporting mark BCLR), which is based in southeastern Massachusetts.

State Environmental Impact Report [Final]
Final State Environmental Impact Report December 2016 Florida Department of Transportation STATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Project Name: US 41 (SR 45) Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study Project Limits: From Kracker Avenue to South of SR 676 (Causeway Boulevard) WPI Segment No.: 430056 1 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) conducted a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study to evaluate the widening of approximately 7.0 miles of US 41 from Kracker Avenue to south of SR 676 (Causeway Boulevard) (Figure A). a. Existing Conditions: US 41 currently has both four‐lane divided rural and urban typical sections (Figure B). In addition, a 0.9‐mile segment between Denver Street and SR 676, was previously widened to a six‐lane urban section. Existing lane widths vary from 11 to 12 feet and median widths vary from 19 to 40 feet. All areas include 4‐foot minimum wide paved shoulders. The posted speed limit is 50 miles per hour (mph) in the north Gibsonton area and 55 mph elsewhere. The existing right of way width varies from 100 feet in north Gibsonton to 182 feet in the areas to the south and north. Existing bridge typical sections for US 41 over Bullfrog Creek and the Alafia River are shown in Figure C. b. Proposed Improvements: Expected improvements include widening to six lanes as well as intersection improvements, construction of stormwater management and floodplain compensation facilities and multimodal improvements. However, the PD&E study for the proposed project did not evaluate specific stormwater management facilities and floodplain compensation sites as these locations will be identified during the proposed project's future design phase.
