Jacksonville could soon lose another historic landmark – not from demolition, but from relocation.
City Council is considering legislation that would declare Atlantic Coast Line #1504, the steam locomotive displayed at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center, surplus property with a declared value of $50,000.
Ordinance 2021-0293 on the June 8 agenda also authorizes the city to rescind the locomotive’s local and national historic landmark status and transfer its title to a railroad preservation organization.
The North Florida Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society Inc. has a contract to sell the locomotive to Sugar Express LLC, a division of U.S. Sugar Corp. in Clewiston.

The two main obstacles were the high prices in San Francisco combined with her limited down payment. Financing options are very limited for those having less than 20% to put down when the borrowed amount exceeds the Fannie Mae maximum loan amount, which was $765,600 for most Bay Area counties in 2020.
