The Dade City Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot is a railroad station and historic site located in Dade City, Florida, United States. The station is located on CSX's S-Line, which runs along the east side of the building. On July 15, 1994, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Built by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (now CSX), it is located on the U.S. 98/301 Bypass, across the street from East Meridian Avenue (SR 52). On July 15, 1994, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Until 1957 it served as a station on a secondary Trilby to Tampa branch of the ACL's Southland en route to Tampa.[3]
In 1990 Amtrak brought train service back with its Silver Star on a routing along the old Seaboard Coast Line main line through Ocala and Wildwood to Miami.[4] In 1996 service was moved over to the Silver Palm.[5] This service was transferred over to the Palmetto in 2002 and service finally ended on November 1, 2004.[6] Today it is served only by Amtrak's Thruway Motorcoach bus service between Jacksonville and Lakeland.
Preservation[]
The station was preserved and reopened as a tourist destination with a grand re-opening held on October 23, 2008.[2] Dade City also uses part of the building as a storage annex.[7]
