Florida ISL - Ocala
#1
While looking round google maps last night I came across http://goo.gl/maps/FAKKA which looks a rather interesting ISL.

There look to be four turnouts servicing five industries in an area about 2400 feet long.
Using a bit of Modeller's license this could easily be shrunk some what.

The industries include the following

1) Cone Distributing Inc ( A Beer Distributor)
This looks like its disused but using a bit more of that Modeller's license it could be reinstated to receive boxcars carrying beer Cheers

   

Looking west from the grade crossing and to the left of Cone Distributing is
2) Ferrellgas (A propane gas distributor)
Again this looks disused but using even more Modeller's license it could be reinstated to receive propane gas tank cars.

   

Turning 180 degrees and to the right of the track is,
3) Ocala Breeders Feed & Supply
Goole streetview shows rusty CSX covered hoppers waiting to be unloaded.

   

Next down the line is a switch to
4) The Alexander Group, llc
This looks to be a Construction Company
I guess this would receive lumber in Hi-Cube boxcars, flat cars and centerbeams.

   

Google satellite view show as if the buildings have just been built, but street view shows is fully working.

Part two to follow...
