Seth H. Bramson is one of two people in the country who bears the official title of company historian with an American railroad. He fell in love with FEC just after his arrival in Miami in 1946, at the age of two. Bramson is America's senior collector of FEC Railway and Florida transportation memorabilia, and his collection of that material is the largest in the world. He is the author of Speedway to Sunshine, the official history of the railroad; the editor of the FEC's The Story of a Pioneer, which he rewrote for the 1996 centennial; the coauthor of The Plant System of Railroads, Steamships and Hotels; and the author of more than 60 articles on Florida local and transportation history. This is his third book with Arcadia Publishing.
