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:
“In my conscience I believe the baggage loves me, for she never speaks well of me herself, nor suffers any body else to rail at me.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
