Florida City On FEC 5th District

After the hurricane of 1935 FEC abandoned the Oversea Railroad to Key West. The end of the line was MP 396 just south of Florida City. The whole area south and west of Miami was still fairly rural and a large produce growing area. My HO scale Florida City is based on a track diagram provided by former FEC engineer Richard Beall. I used modelers license and moved Naranja Quarry about 6 miles south and replaced the Farmers Market track. I like rock trains.
