The following is from today's Orlando Slantenal. Though it focuses on Lakeland, the overall changes proposed will definitely have local impact.

Note this excerpt.

"According to documents Dockery obtained through public-records requests, the revamped S-line could handle as many as 54 trains a day, up from a current maximum of 35. In other words, Dockery says, state dollars would create a "super highway" for freight trains that would run through her hometown."


Guess where the S-line is.
