Up until 1939, a long line of railroad freight cars lined up along Dixie Highway was a familiar sight, especially during the agricultural packing and shipping season. Along Flagler Avenue in the downtown area, there were three tracks to accommodate the loading of produce while still allowing passenger and through trains to pass the area without delay.

Following the 1939 opening of the State Farmers Market west of town, the Florida East Coast Railway constructed a spur track to the market. It connected to the main line near 15th Street and Dixie Highway (and is still in use).
