The Seminole Gulf Railway is a short line railroad headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida that operates two former CSX railroad lines in Southwest Florida. Seminole Gulf Railway's main line (CSX's former Fort Myers Subdivision) runs from Arcadia south through Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, and Bonita Springs before terminating just a mile south of crossing into Collier County in North Naples; a distance of nearly 80 miles. The company also runs a separate nearly 20 mile line from just south of Bradenton in Oneco south through Sarasota. The line (CSX's former Sarasota Subdivision) went as far south as Venice when Seminole Gulf acquired it, but was truncated to Palmer Ranch (just south of Sarasota) in the mid 2000s. The Sarasota line also includes a short 5-mile branch from downtown Sarasota back north to Matoaka. Seminole Gulf began operating the lines in late 1987. The main line connects with CSX's Brewster Subdivision in Arcadia and Sarasota line connects with CSX's Palmetto Subdivision in Oneco. The Seminole Gulf Railway has a commonly owned affiliated company, the Bay Colony Railroad Corp. , which is based in southeastern Massachusetts. ==Current Operations== Seminole Gulf is the primary freight railroad operating through Southwest Florida along with CSX and South Central Florida Express, who operates tracks farther inland near Clewiston. Freight transported by Seminole Gulf Railway includes lumber, newsprint, propane, stone, steel, scrap metal, and other commodities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.leempo.com/documents/RailFeasibilityStudy_112213.pdf )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seminole Gulf Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
