The Orange Blossom Special, despite its heavyweight status, was one of the railroad's best advertised and well-known trains providing service to Sunshine State during the wintertime months. First launched in the 1920s the train ran nearly every season through the early 1950s except during the tumultuous and busy war years of the 1940s. Strong competition from the Atlantic Coast Line and the SAL's other trains eventually forced the Blossom's discontinuance. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 140 pages.
