31 Years After Hurricane Andrew Destroyed This Train Station

31 Years After Hurricane Andrew Destroyed This Train Station

Marked For Death Abandoned Railroad Crossing Restored ?

First this railway crossing gets destroyed by Hurricane Irma by breaking all the crossing gates in 2017 (Link to video below). Then, the last 12 miles of the CSX Homestead Subdivision were officially abandoned on March 2019 ( The last 12 miles begin from here South ). And now it is officially on the chopping block with a recently installed stop sign on the train tracks which I assume CSX placed. Not to mention there are 10 feet tall weeds and trees growing between the rails along with rotting cross ties and missing rail spikes along the tracks going South! The signals have all been folded up and the crossing gates removed in addition to the stop sign. The last train to use this line was in 2016 and it was for storage.

This line was built in 1926 by Seaboard Air Line to bring passenger service to Homestead, Florida and connected with the Miami extension of the Overseas Railway parallel to US 1 in FL City. In 1929, it became a freight line and 2016 was the last time it saw activity; removal of the stored hoppers on the line.
