>>>I'm quite sure they are not.

This was Florida RR, the first FL x-state RR, Fernandina to Cedar Key, built 
by David Levy Yulee, a nice Jewish boy who would become Florida's first U. 
S. Senator and then, after the Civil War, would make the mistake of crossing 
Henry Plant, who, essentially, ran him out of business.

It would later become the Florida Central and Peninsular and then the 
Seaboard Air Line.
