# Fort Meade Street Railway

The Fort Meade Street Railway was chartered in January 1886 with a 99-year franchise. It opened on January 1, 1887, to connect the center of Fort Meade and the new Florida Southern Railway depot. The charter granted it the exclusive right-of-way in the town of Fort Meade, Florida, and exempted it from city taxes for ten years. The railroad had two miles of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge track and owned two cars and two horses. In 1904 the directors were: Max Reif, President: M. M. Loadhollis, Vice-president: W. H. Francis, Secretary: L. B. Flood; E. O. Flood was Treasurer and J. G. Carter, Manager. C. E. Roberts is shown as Vice-president in the 1907 Poor's Manual with the other officers being the same. The general offices were in Fort Meade. Operations ceased in 1913.
