How rail transformed the state of Florida: the history and what to expect in the future
About the video: "Take a look at how rail travel has transformed through history. In the Early 20th Century the Florida population was booming and Flagler's rail brought travelers to the area. The Florida East Coast Railroad ran from Jacksonville to Key West. During this time south Florida was among the most popular destinations. Train travel offered a convenient, frequent and comfortable solution and was favored by many. In 1950 Florida's population hit 2.7 million people. Rail made travel into Florida possible and today All Aboard Florida will move people within Florida in the 21st century. Learn more about the All Aboard Florida project here."
