Eastern Railroad Discussion > Seminole Gulf RR Crossed Caloosahatchee RiverDate: 01/23/26 13:03 Seminole Gulf RR Crossed Caloosahatchee River Author: cozephyr Seminole Gulf RR 595, B39-8E, crossed the rebuilt after Hurricane Ian Caloosahatchee River Bridge 16 January 2026 with a northbound freight. The Mystery Murder Dinner Train also runs on this line.
Ian caused catastrophic damage with losses estimated to be around $112 billion, making it the costliest hurricane in Florida's history, surpassing Irma of 2017,as well as the third-costliest in U.S. history, behind only Katrina of 2005 and Harvey of 2017. Much of the damage was from flooding brought about by a storm surge of 10–15 ft (3.0–4.6 m). The cities of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples were particularly hit hard, leaving millions without power in the storm's wake and numerous inhabitants forced to take refuge on their roofs. Sanibel Island, Fort Myers Beach and Pine Island bore the brunt of Ian's powerful winds and its accompanying storm surge at landfall, which leveled thousands of standing structures in the region and collapsed the Sanibel Causeway and the Pine Island Causeway to Pine Island, entrapping those left on the islands for several days Edited 3 time(s).
