About the Book

Speedway to Sunshine is the history of one of America's most exciting railroad lines, the Florida East Coast (FEC). It details how the FEC began and how it survived booms, busts, bankruptcy, sabotage, and hurricanes to become one of America's most admired rail lines. Illustrated with 400 photographs, this fascinating book chronicles the FEC's unrivaled rail-blazing events, from its inception, through the construction and destruction of the famous Key West Extension, to the line's post-war metamorphosis. There are extensive appendices on train names, schedules, passenger agents, locomotive rosters, mail service, freight equipment, passenger equipment, intrastate connections, and track layout.

About the Author :
Seth Bramson's interest in the Florida East Coast Railway began at the age of three, when his father took him to Miami's Buena Vista Yard each Sunday. Today, he owns the largest collection of Florida East Coast and Florida transportation memorabilia and is known in railroading circles as Mr. F.E.C.
