(rshsdepot) Fort Ogden, FL ACL freight station destroyed?

This came on our TotalCSX list. I haven't been able to verify this online.

Seth, have you heard anything about this yet?

   Since AFM brought it up last week, I have some more information about one of Charley's targets.  From a South Central Florida Express engineer, I understand the former ACL freight station in Fort Ogden has been destroyed.  This is on the upper end of the Seminole Gulf Railway's Fort Myers division.  The depot had been (I think) a millwork dealer for some time.  They had moved it away from the tracks just a bit towards US 17, and restored it to an almost as-built likeness, minus the "Fort Ogden" station signs.  But, no more.  Charley: good tuna.....bad storm.
