The following
photographs depict the new construction
activity on the Florida East Coast (FEC)
Railway taken by Harlan Hanna [FECNRHS
Chapter Recording Secretary and
Newsletter Editor (Interim)]. In
the May 2006 FECNRHS Chapter Newsletter
(The East Coast Champion), Harlan
made note of the work going on in the
vicinity of the Space Coast Regional
Airport, formerly known as the
Titusville - Cocoa (TICO) Airport. After
the May 2006 FECNRHS Chapter Meeting,
Don Pierson informed Harlan that what he
had observed was construction of a track
extending from Indian River City (SR 50)
Titusville, FL to Fay Blvd in Port St.
John, FL. Harlan has since verified this
in the 2005 FEC Industries Annual Report
(http://library.corporate-ir.net/library/64/643/64379/items/196337/FECI_2005AR.pdf). Per
page three (3) of the 2005 FEC
Industries Annual Report, Mr. Adolfo
Henrique's, Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer (FEC Industries)
states, "We started building 12
miles of double track between (South
St.) Titusville (FL) and (south of Camp
Road) Cocoa (FL) with support of the
Florida Department of
Transportation". The photos
are as follows:
