Rail Service
Throughout most of the twentieth century, the Bone Valley region received service from two major railroads, the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line. More than a few plants and mines saw the services of both railroad companies, such as the Ridgewood facility located at Bartow, and the massive Pierce complex south of Mulberry. It was not until the 1967 Seaboard Coast Line merger that the bitter rivalry was put to rest. SCL itself was later absorbed into CSX, who have since pursued an aggressive strategy of abandoning redundant trackage.

Famous quotes containing the words rail and/or service:
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
