How the Dinky Line Affects Today's World
As mentioned in a previous blog, the Dinky Line is a railroad track that began running between Orlando, FL and Winter Park, FL in January, 1889. This railroad track was very useful in the beginning of its existence and it ran many times the first day. Over time though, the train started to become used less often because of other alternative forms of transportation. In 1969, the tracks of the Dinky Line were finally removed. Although they were removed, the interesting part of this that affects our world today is that the Dinky Line was eventually changed into the Seaboard Air Line.
