Gainesville's Steam Locomotive
Gainesville Midland No. 209 (SAL No. 533), a 2-10-0 "decapod," and several rail cars are displayed near the old Gainesville Midland Depot (now the Arts Council Depot) downtown. A small railroad museum here is open by appointment. (At corner of Jesse Jewell Parkway and W. Academy Street downtown).
No. 209 served the Gainesville Midland Railway, now merged into CSX.
After 1959, the Gainesville Midland was controlled by Seaboard Railroad. A Seaboard caboose is part of the display.
