I found the Oslo Road boat ramp.

Yes but that has no dock like it did .for the last of them that did Gifford dock road ,45th st .there's is also quay dock road,and to see the p.p. Cobb aka cons landing whe re they canned fish to be shipped up north.

East side photo of that will be difficult all the traffic and its blocked by trees.I can't get a wide pano like I did.in taking a photo of it as its likely to be sold and then razed. Ft.pierce had a few on the river who also shipped via boat which predate the Oslo one I believe

I would probably leave the insect and eat the chocolate instead.

You and me both. I love chocolate.

Boats are very efficient transportation. Lots of towns were founded on rivers and shores.

Stay safe. Only take photos from a safe vantage point.

I didn't trespass by taking the pano.nor would I do it with the east side .the rr isn't in my photo as i edited it out but its there. The easy view i can use the median or the side walk .in not afraid of us1.cross much worse reading such as rt 60.

Speed is important with perishables like citrus.

They did ship,them but one could ship,more on,the fec and it was as easy to build trains as it was roads then .I can post the. Smaller tracks that led to the fec one being the fellsmere rr.

Trains would be easier to load. Trains could come right up to the processing plant door, and cargo could be wheeled in. Ships would have people carrying cargo down ramps into the hold.

The Brits became a world power by shipping natural resources to their island, but they also used trains for internal transport.

Before 1894,they were docks these had rails to simply load a cart,not all rails were for train but
Was oxen or mule driven .

I will upload the local accounts of that .been to both .one was simply,for tourists to,see the beach,The other was to move can via a oxen driven cart .a steamer could be loaded easily .trains loading via ramps or crane .must look for those stories

Okay, an ox driven cart on tracks to the docks. Then load the citrus on a ship. Clever people.

Whether to use ships or trains seems to depend on local geography. Each has their application.

Wow. Trains have changed dramatically. That steam engine seemed more like a toy compared today's diesel/electric behemoths. Only one passenger car hooked up to it, and it drove backward on the return trip.

When they had enough traffic to ship citrus, they only hooked up a total of two combination baggage and passenger cars, two flat cars and one box car. 3 cargo cars in total. Nowadays they run 100 cars or so on long haul freight trains.

A lot of train trips to keep the citrus moving. I imagine they delivered it a bit at a time throughout the season. Almost daily runs would keep the citrus fresh for the customers.
