Hi all, I'm new to the forums (they were recommended by someone at Trains.com). I've started work on a bedroom size layout modeling the L&N and the Seaboard Air Line in north Florida in the early 50s. I'm just wondering if anyone here is knowledgeable about these railroads in Florida, as I have a ton of questions!
I'll start with one longshot: is anyone aware of major industries between Tallahassee and Pensacola served by these lines in the early 50s? The only one I'm aware of is the Florida Gravel Co. on the Apalachicola River. I know that logging was big in this area in the 1800s/early 1900s, but I think it had wound down by the 50s.

Thanks for any info...
