Punta Gorda train depot

Built by the Atlantic Coast Railroad in Mediterranean Revival style and opened in 1928, passenger service ceased in 1971. The building incorporates a signalling tower, still retaining the framework for a semaphore signal. Very similar in design to the former ACL station further north at Bradenton, the Punta Gorda station is now occupied by an antiques dealership.

 

The single track remains in occasional use, now part of the Seminole Gulf Railway short line.
