The Rail Yard  District Since 1858

For some time now I’ve been noticing a train logo flag with the name “Rail Yard District”.  I rode the neighborhood and turns out it’s west of downtown in the Beaver Street, near the train depot and convention centre area. It includes such addresses as: 

Danone plant

Hollybrook Park- 200 Leland Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32254

Prime Osborn Convention Center- I-95 and I-10.

The old Farmers Market 1810 West Beaver Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32209

Eco Relics, a salvage store living in a former rail depot.-106 Stockton Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32204

Shot gun houses east of the viaduct on the North side of Beaver Street. 

The actual “rail yard”.

The old viaduct and rail yard with trains n’ all, east of the Farmers Market on west Beaver Street.

There are some 75-100 businesses in this area and although much of the area has been neglected since the 1970’s, its making a come back with new business and opportunity.

See you tomorrow,
