Legend

The green vertical bar between the track chart and milepost columns denotes stretches where public roads run next to the tracks and are good for pacing trains. The view of the track might be obstructed by foliage along some stretches, but that's just the way it goes. DRIVE SAFELY! Your photos or videos won't see the Net if you kill yourself and others chasing a train.

Notes

Note 1: 2013.11.19 — Plant City is building a train watching platform across the ACL tracks from the restored train depot at the diamond. Watch their Facebook page for progress reports.

Note 2: 2021.11.14 — County Line industrial lead serves Southern Glaziers, Carpenter, Star Distributors, Burris Refrigerated Products, A.J. Graham Packaging
