Cape Canaveral, Florida

The Master Plan that Renuart & Larkin conceived of for Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida would have involved constructing a 16-mile rail extension, to run from the Kennedy Space Center to Port Canaveral.

The route under discussion would have made a relatively short crossing over the Banana River (beside an existing bridge) and traversed the Air Force Station (near Phillips Parkway), offering the least environmental impact to the Banana River Lagoon and surrounding natural wildlife preserves.

General Renuart and Owen Larkin acted as liaisons between the Air Force and the Port to attempt to open a route through the Base, that has historically been closed to commercial rail traffic. R&L brought in GMA International and Rio Grande Pacific as their rail partners to help fulfill this vision.
