The proposed route was from Fernandina to Cedar Key. \n Its first officers were Florida's first U.S. Senator David L. Yulee, President; George W. Call, Secretary and Treasurer; and Martin L. Smith, Chief Engineer. The principal office of the company was at Fernandina. The Florida Railroad initially received a federal land grant of 290,183.28 acres and a Florida grant of 505,144.14 acres. To help the railroad pay for itself and to help attract new settlers into the area, the state government authorized the Florida Railroad to sell land along its right-of-way. The Florida Land Improvement Society, made up of principal stockholders in the Florida Railroad, was created for the task. Actual construction began in 1855 and was completed in 1860. The line was 155.5 miles long, and the track was imported from England. At the time of completion, the Florida Railroad was considered to have the best equipment in the state with its two passenger cars accommodating 60 persons each, 2 baggage cars, 14 box cars and 21 flatcars.\n By opening up a vast area for development and by furnishing the long awaited coast to coast shipping route, the completion of the Florida Railroad marked a \"new era\" in the development of the state.  However, for various reasons, many citizens opposed the road. Backwoodsmen claimed that turpentine operations, developed as a result of the railroad, ruined their hog ranges and that the railroad killed their cattle. Farmers' wives claimed that market eggs were broken when carts crossed the tracks.\n Service on the railroad was interrupted and the line was damaged heavily during the Civil War when raiding parties from both sides constantly harassed and destroyed the interior lines of communication within Florida. By the close of the Civil War, railroad property in Florida was damaged to the extent of more than a million dollars, or one-seventh of the total valuation of the entire rail system at the time. Due to the devastation of the war, most of the railroad companies failed to make the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, large amounts of interest remained unpaid, and the companies faced bankruptcy. Probably the hardest hit of the various roads was David Yulee's Florida Railroad. Its principal terminals had been destroyed, cross ties and bridges along the line were burned or rotting, a large part of the rail had been removed, and of the rolling stock there remained only five engines, three of which were in no condition for immediate use. There were also nine box cars and two dilapidated coaches. Much of the damage was repaired by Federal troops that occupied Florida.\n During 1866, for failure to pay the accruing interest on its bonds and the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, the trustees of that Fund took possession of the franchise, and sold the Florida Railroad Company on October 6th, for $323,400, to Isaac K. Roberts, who was acting as agent for Edward N. Dickerson and associates, bondholders and creditors. Reorganization of the company was completed on November 3rd, 1866. The new management continued the reconstruction of the road and immediately placed orders for two new locomotives to supplement those which had survived the ravages of war.\n The Florida Railroad operated under the Dickerson Administration until January 18, 1872, at which time the name of the company was changed to the Atlantic, Gulf and West India Transit Company.","Portions of collection available online?: No","Originally processed in April 1968.
