Rail

Running directly through Brevard County, Florida's East Coast Railway (FEC) is a Class II freight railroad that extends along a 351-mile corridor between Jacksonville and Miami. FEC's main line runs north/south along the west side of US Highway 1.

FEC understands the flow of goods into Florida and has a reputation for a strong customer focus through its scheduled train service which has an excellent on-time record. The Railway moves approximately 190,000 carloads of commodities such as crushed stone (aggregate), automobiles, food stuffs and construction material annually.

Near dock rail is provided by FEC via the north/south route along Florida’s Atlantic seaboard. In addition, a piggyback facility is located at State Road 528 and Clearlake Road in Cocoa, Florida. The capacity is currently 22 trains per day running north and south with 100 cars per train. Average capacity of a rail car is 2,860 pounds but will depend on size of car and type of product being shipped. The railway can accommodate large and small cars and carry more weight depending upon the needs of transportation.
