Page "Sumter County, Florida" Paragraph 32

CSX operates one rail line within the county.

Amtrak formerly provided passenger rail service to Wildwood, but the stop was terminated in late 2004.

Other lines have existed in the past, most notably one from Coleman southeast towards Auburndale in Polk County, part of which includes the General James A.

Van Fleet State Trail in Mabel.

Amtrak ran along this line until 1988.

Another line ran from Croom in Hernando County to Center Hill.

Today, part of it is a Forest Road in Withlacoochee State Forest north of the Sumter Rest Area on I-75.

A fourth one was part of the Orange Belt Railway, which ran from Trilby in Pasco County to Sylvan Lake in Seminole County.

This runs along the south side of Florida State Road 50 east of Tarrytown.
