What It Is

Dating from as early as the 1970s, the Central Florida region has studied and discussed with CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), and its predecessors, the public's concern with train movements through the dense urban core of the region from Sanford through Orlando to Kissimmee. Concern for the train movements is based on a number of reasons, including the desire to relieve traffic conflicts that long, slow moving trains create; the desire to utilize the existing rail system for increased passenger use; and safety concerns at the crossings where trains, cars, and pedestrians can meet with devastating results. These concerns have resulted in numerous studies.
Rail relocation, or rerouting of rail traffic, has been at the forefront of discussions among the METROPLAN Orlando, Central Florida Regional Transit Authority (LYNX) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) culminating in a feasibility study commissioned in March of 2003.

Proposed Route

The Rail Relocation Feasibility Study was initiated to determine the benefit of rerouting train movements from the existing CSXT “A” Line from Deland in Volusia County to Poinciana in Osceola County.
