Lost Jacksonville: Honeymoon/Campbell Hill

Honeymoon Today



The historic heart of Honeymoon hasn't changed much over the last century. It's still an important railyard and junction point. Here, CSX, FEC, and NS railroads converge.



A portion of the Honeymoon is occupied by TTX Company's repair shops and fabrication facility. TTX Company is a leading provider of railcars and related freight car management services to the North American rail industry.

Dennis Street

After the abandonment and conversion of most of Honeymoon into a railyard, the Jacksonville Terminal Company funded the extension of Beaver Street to connect with Myrtle Avenue. Soon, Dennis Street became an important industrial connection between Myrtle Avenue and Stockton Street. A century later, Dennis Street is still home to heavy industry, communications and logistics companies.
