Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway

Remnant of the Charlotte Harbor And Northern Railway trestle bridge

     The Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railroad timber trestle bridge crossed Gasparilla Sound.  It once connected the main land at Placida to Gasparilla Island. It transported passengers and phosphate. It was built in 1907  It is no longer used for trains.

Same as above

     Parts of the trestle bridge are currently being repurposed for the Placida Fishing Pier in the north and the Boca Grande  Fishing Pier in the South
