I have no problem with doing that but it literally took me 3 hours to make an appointment. When we made it to our appointment the lobby was cleaned and only had a few people ahead of us. Unfortunately the representative couldn't help us with what we came to do but it wasn't her fault and she helped set up my mother's direct deposit without needing to make another appointment. Overall I would recommend making an appointment first.

The Seaboard Air Line Railroad was an American railroad which existed from April 14, 1900, until…read moreJuly 1, 1967 when it merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Air Line does not refer to air travel but instead is a common term for the shortest distance between two points. The railroad operated 4,000 miles of track running from Richmond, Virginia down through Jacksonville and ending in West Palm Beach. Solomon Davies Warfield, chairman of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad at the time, extended the railroad further into South Florida to Miami in 1925 and to Homestead in 1927 where it ended. Solomon Davies Warfield was the uncle of Bessie Wallis Warfield Simpson, the woman whose love affair with King Edward forced him to abdicate the throne. This train station, like all of the Seaboard Air Line Stations, was designed by architect L. Philipps Clarke in the Mediterranean Revival style that was popular in Florida during the prosperous 1920's. The masonry vernacular building was constructed in 1927 near the intersection of Pilaklakaha Avenue and Pearl Street on the Seaboard's rail line. The train was instrumental to the development of Auburndale bringing in passengers and goods from around the state and country. In addition to the Seaboard Air Line Station Auburndale also had a Atlantic Coast Line station. CSX closed the station in 1993 and it deteriorated to the point that it was going to be demolished. The City of Auburndale purchased the building and relocated it to where the former Atlantic Coast Line train depot once sat. The building was restored with a grant from the Florida Department of State. Today the building is across the railroad tracks from the historic Downtown City Park and it can be rented for private events. Only two of the Seaboard Air Line Stations have been destroyed. The Boynton Beach station was torn down in 2006 and the Delray Station was destroyed by arson. Thanks to the care taken by the City of Auburndale, this majestic station still maintains it's beauty and history today. The historic marker was installed in 2014 by the City of Auburndale, Auburndale Historic Preservation Commission.
