Proposal to reroute trains from downtown Ocala may be getting back on track

Of course, that was long before the state government's announcement last year of a $491 million plan to divert more CSX freight traffic from Orlando to the route through Ocala - a move expected to increase rail traffic in the city from roughly 20 trains a day to more than 30.

CSX also plans to build a 1,250-acre logistics center with a truck, rail and warehousing hub in Winter Haven in anticipation of growing freight demand on its Chicago-to-Florida line -- Ocala Star-Banner
