Orlando, FL: Old railroad grade at Disney World (just discovered it)

[Brian556]

I just discovered this in OSM. There is an old railroad grade that enters Disney from the west. It turns south, and crosses US 192 to the west of World Dr. The odd thing is that, according to USGS TOPO Maps on Historic Aerials,  it randomly ends near I-4. I have not seen this on any of the general highway maps of Orange or Lake Counties.

Even more strange is how it appears to have two separate alignments west of US 27 where portions of it appear to have been covered by CR 474.

Anybody know anything about this?

I've been looking at topo maps online, and these old railroad segments are frustratingly disjointed. It does look like somewhere between CR 474's western end and the Sumter/Lake/Polk county tripoint, it connected to the old Seaboard Coast Line track that ran from Coleman to Auburndale.

There's lots and lots of little dead end segments that run through nothing but woods. I only found one mention of this anywhere, someone on a rail forum with your same question, and consensus is that it probably had to do with logging. But nobody's figured out yet who owned it or when it was abandoned.
