                         Friday, March 14, 2014

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Winter 
Garden, Tavares and Gulf Railroad Depot on the occasion of its 100th 
anniversary.
   The railroad station, built in 1913, was purchased in 1973 for one 
dollar by the Central Florida chapter of the National Railway 
Historical Society. Located in the historic Tavares and Gulf Railroad 
depot, the Central Florida Railroad Museum opened in 1983. Through 
partnership with the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, extensive 
private collections of local, state and national memorabilia have been 
made accessible to the public.
   I commend the Winter Garden, Tavares and Gulf Railroad Depot for 
their preservation of the rich history of Central Florida's railways.
