Re: (rshsdepot) Fort Ogden, FL ACL freight station destroyed?
It is very possible. I think I saw something about it on the serails list.
I was there last winter, around Feb, and got to see the building.
And now, of course, we're holding our breath on this coast as this next
monster moves toward us, hoping and praying it makes the expected turn
north.
Stay well and all the best.

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.
