  • 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida
    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida 2.1 Overview The Florida rail system is comprised of 2,786 miles of mainline track, which are owned by 15 operating line-haul railroads and terminal or switching companies, as well as 81 miles owned by the State of Florida. Florida’s rail system includes 2 Class I Railroads (CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Corporation), 1 Class II (Florida East Coast Railway), 11 Class III (Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway AN Railway, Bay Line Railroad, First Coast Railroad, Florida West Coast Railroad, Florida Central Railroad, Florida Midland Railroad, Florida Northern Railroad, Georgia and Florida Railway, Seminole Gulf Railway, and South Central Florida Express) and 1 railroad specializing in switching and terminals (Talleyrand Terminal).9 The largest operator in the State is CSX Transportation, which owns more than 53 percent of the statewide track mileage. In 2008, Florida’s railroads carried nearly 1.6 million carloads – 19 percent less than in 2006 – and approximately 83 million tons of freight, representing a 25 million ton (23 percent) decrease from 2006.10 During that year, railroads handled freight equivalent to roughly 5.0 million heavy trucks.11 Nonetheless, railroads continue to support thousands of jobs throughout the State and assist Florida’s industries to remain competitive with international and domestic markets for fertilizer, construction rock, consumer goods, paper products, processed 9 U.S. Class I Railroads are line-haul freight railroads with 2007 operating revenue in excess of $359.6 million (2006 operating revenues exceeding $346.7 million).

  • “From Bone Valley to 'Far Places': a Global Environmental History of The
    Edward D. Melillo – Please do no cite or copy without author’s permission “From Bone Valley to ‘Far Places’: A Global Environmental History of the 1919 Phosphate Miners’ Strike in Mulberry, Florida” Edward Melillo, Amherst College Introduction In her 1942 autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road, writer Zora Neale Hurston vividly depicted the miners of Polk County, Florida, their “sweating black bodies, muscled like gods…. They go down in the phosphate mines and bring up the wet dust of the bones of pre-historic monsters, to make rich land in far places, so that people can eat.”1 Hurston’s narrative suspended readers between the immediacy of sinew and bone and the remoteness of the “far places” that reconstituted their soils with fertilizer from Florida’s phosphorus-rich fossil deposits. Among the sites where Hurston gathered folklore for the Works Projects Administration (WPA) in the late 1930s was the town of Mulberry, thirty-two miles (52 km) east of Tampa in Polk County. This railroad outpost in Florida’s “Bone Valley” region—a zone where phosphate-laden skeletons accumulated millions of years ago when much of the area was beneath the ocean—has long been a place where the gritty labors of a southern community converged with the demands of distant environments.2 This article chronicles a 1919 strike during which 3,000 black and white miners from the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers targeted seventeen of 1 Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road: An Autobiography (1942; New York: HarperCollins, 2006), 147. 2 On May 6, 1935, United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the WPA by Executive Order #7034.

  • 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.
