Lakeland Turned Down Its Own, Smaller CSX Hub In 2003

In late 2002 and 2003, CSX approached Lakeland about building rail a hub that sounds similar to, but smaller than, the one proposed for Winter Haven, according to city records.

The hub would have served as a distribution point for an estimated 220,000 vehicles per year. The cars would have been shipped in by train and then trucked out.

CSX wanted to build the hub on a large piece of property it owns along Kathleen Road, just northwest of the former Florida Tile site. That’s near the spot where CSX’s two main peninsular Florida lines merge. -- Polk County News Blog
