Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway
The Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway is a historic railroad line that at its greatest extent serviced Gasparilla Island in Charlotte Harbor and a major shipping port that once operated there. The railroad's principal purpose was to transport phosphate mined along the Peace River and in the Bone Valley region of Central Florida to the port to be shipped. It also brought passengers to the island community of Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island, and is largely responsible for making Boca Grande the popular tourist destination it is today. Part of the line remains in service today between Mulberry and Arcadia, which is now owned and operated by CSX Transportation.
==Route==
At its greatest extent, the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway ran from Mulberry to the southern tip of Gasparilla Island, a distance of nearly 100 miles. From Mulberry, the line proceeded in south in a mostly straight trajectory through Bradley Junction and Ona to Arcadia.
What remains of the line today terminates in Arcadia but historically, it continued from Arcadia southwest along the Peace River to Nocatee and Fort Ogden, where it crossed the river and continued on to Port Charlotte. In Port Charlotte, the line ran alongside of what is today Veterans Boulevard and State Road 776 where it continued through Murdock and El Jobean, where it crossed the Myakka River. In McCall, just south of the Myakka River, it continued south running just northwest of what is today Gasparilla Road.
In Placida, the line crossed a causeway consisting of three major trestles onto Gasparilla Island, where it ran the length of the island and terminating at the Boca Grande port at the south end of the island near Port Boca Grande Lighthouse.
