The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's Lakeland—Fort Myers Line was one of the railroad company's secondary main lines in Central and Southwest Florida. It was built incrementally between its namesake cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The line was extended south of Fort Myers to Naples and beyond in the 1920s, which was designated as a branch line known as the Fort Myers Southern Branch. Parts of the line are still active today.
