The Stations

With recent talk about the revival of passenger traffic on the Florida East Coast tracks in the form of a South Florida commuter train, there have been a number of questions about the former train station in Pompano Beach.

In fact, Pompano had two FEC stations, the most recent being demolished in 1968. It was constructed in the mid 1920s to replace the original wooden station that had been constructed soon after the arrival of the railway in 1896.

The first station was architecturally similar to other small stations the FEC built along its line, and was located alongside the tracks at about NE 1st Street. The second station was constructed of concrete block and was located a little bit north, at 226 North Dixie Highway.
