From the link to the Ocala.com article above:


"...the freight traffic would not shift until spots along the S line, including some in Marion County, are upgraded to handle the extra volume. That means laying miles of double-tracking — that is, building a parallel track alongside the main line so slower trains can yield to speedier ones — through some areas."

and

"The SunRail plan also called for erecting new or improved overpasses along the S line. That included two in Wildwood"

I would guess that the newly built Wildwood overpass could handle two main line tracks. Wonder of Sumter County will get upgraded to two tracks also?

If US 301 and CR 44 got new overpasses why not CR 42?
