Old Lake Placid Train Station - a photo on Flickriver

            A former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot is still in use in the small town of Lake Placid, Florida. The station was built in 1927 and used as a passenger station until the mid-50s. Freight trains continued to use the line until the 1970s. On January 4, 1993, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Sugarcane trains regularly use the adjacent tracks Operated by the United States Sugar Corporation. Many times a year, a steam train stops here and passengers disembark for a two hour layover to eat and shop in town. The depot may no longer serve passenger or freight operations, but it does house the Lake Placid Historical Society. It is located at 12 East Park Street, Lake Placid, Florida 33852-65761. 

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 4, 1993.
