There are a ton of spurs just west of the MIA airport into factories/warehouses that have been removed recently. Why does FEC tear up the tracks? There is future potential of a customer. Once they remove the rails, the future income potential drops to 0%. I was surprised to see how many abandoned spur lines there were in this area.

The Florida East Coast sold a portion of Hialeah Yard to the airport for expansion. They own a huge amount of property
elsewhere and some operations will eventually be relocated. You need to stay tuned for more later on.
