The First Coast Railroad (AAR reporting mark FCRD) is a railroad in Florida and Georgia, owned by Rail Link (Genesee and Wyoming). It was founded in April 2005 to lease 32 ex-Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) miles abandoned by CSX. Its lines stretch east from Yulee to Fernandina Beach and north from Yulee to Seals, with a connection at Yulee to CSX to Jacksonville. The north-south line, formely the SAL main line before it was abandoned by the combined Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in favor of the ex-Atlantic Coast Line Railroad main line to the west, connects to the St. Marys Railroad at Kingsland. The line is abandoned north of Seals.
