Site of ACL Monticello station/US 90 bridge

When the Atlantic Coast Line was urged to "bypass" Monticello, Florida,
this was the location chosen for their new passenger depot, built to serve
those wishing to travel on the SOUTHLAND. Other local passenger service
stopped here, too, including Thomasville(GA)-Tampa locals, and the occasional
detouring City of Miami or Sunchaser. "Lady Bird" Johnson's Civil Rights
Special operated over the "Perry" cutoff, through this station, in the mid 1960's
When the cutoff was abandoned in the early 1970's, the ACL bridge over US 90,
was removed. The station survived about a decade or so, then was eventually
de-constructed.
