|} The Plant City, Arcadia, and Gulf Railroad was a railroad line that once operated from Plant City, Florida south to Welcome, a distance of 11.4 miles. The line remains in service today and is owned by CSX Transportation, which it operates as their Plant City Subdivision.[1][2]

History

The Plant City, Arcadia, and Gulf Railroad was built 1898 by the Warnell Lumber & Veneer Company. It connected to the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad in Plant City, which would become the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1900. Seaboard bought the line and rebuilt it in 1905. Through many mergers, the Seaboard Air Line Railroad network became part of CSX in 1980.[3] Today, the Plant City Subdivision connects to CSX's S-Line (the former Seaboard main line) in Plant City, and to CSX's Valrico Subdivision in Welcome.
