Looking for any information on the original ACL depot at Clewiston, specifically when (and why) it was replaced by the current metal structure. Whatever happened may have taken place post-SCL merger, since there's mention of the "new" station in a SCL magazine from the late '60's. BYW- has anyone ever visited the Clewiston Museum; if so , do they have anything related to the area's railroading history? It's always closed when I'm going through town. Thanks!

Bob, There's a picture of the Clewiston FL depot(1920's)on page 101 of Robert W. Mann's book RAILS 'NEATH THE PALMS. I hope this helps. E. Howard

There is a photo in the Florida Archives, of the stucco building. I have a feeling there would have been an earlier, wooden depot as well. Here is the URL: http://fpc.dos.state.fl.us/prints/pr01914.jpg
