Wow, would that have been between Florence & Lakeland? Or further north...

If it was demolished, then I assume the Sante Fe Springs depot building in Heritage Park (?) in SFS is a replica?

The last run of the Super C was on May 4, 1976, so something is amiss here...

It’s astonishing how well kept, neat, tidy and clean that depot is/was.had to be some operators who took it upon themselves. Most RR structures where I work look like refugee shelters on a bad day.
