===Railroads===
[[CSX Transportation|CSX]] operates three freight rail lines within the county. Dade City and Zephyrhills are served by the [[Wildwood Subdivision]]. The other two lines include the [[Brooksville Subdivision]] which runs close to [[U.S. Route 41 in Florida|US 41]] and the [[DuPont—Lakeland_Line#Vitis_Subdivision|Vitis Subdivision]], which runs southeast into [[Lakeland, Florida|Lakeland]]. [[Amtrak]] formerly provided [[Passenger train|passenger rail]] service to [[Dade City (Amtrak station)|Dade City]] on that line, but the stop was terminated in late 2004.<ref name="Amshack">{{cite web|url=http://www.sptimes.com/2004/10/29/Pasco/Loss_of_Amtrak_servic.shtml|title=St. Petersburg Times|work=Loss of Amtrak service shouldn't derail Dade City|access-date=October 29, 2004}}</ref>

Notable abandoned railroad lines include a former branch of the [[Atlantic Coast Line Railroad]] northwest of [[Trilacoochee, Florida|Trilacoochee]] (formerly Owensboro Junction) that became part of the [[Withlacoochee State Trail]], a segment of the [[Seaboard Air Line Railroad]] branch stretching from Zephyrhills to Trilacoochee, the former [[Tampa and Thonotosassa Railroad]] along the east side of US 301 that spanned from [[Sulphur Springs (Tampa)|Sulphur Springs]] to Zephyrhills, part of the [[Orange Belt Railway]] which became the [[Atlantic Coast Line Railroad]] which ran from [[St. Petersburg, Florida|St. Petersburg]] and entered the county in what is today [[Trinity, Florida|Trinity]] to Trilby (abandoned during the early to mid-1970s), and a branch of the Seaboard Air Line that ran through [[Holiday, Florida|Holiday]], [[Elfers, Florida|Elfers]] and into [[New Port Richey, Florida|New Port Richey]].

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad until 1957 ran the ''[[Southland (train)|Southland]]'' through Trilby and [[Tarpon Springs]], en route to St. Petersburg. The train was unusual for providing passenger service direct from Chicago (via the [[Pennsylvania Railroad|Pennsylvania]]), Cincinnati and Atlanta on a direct route through the western part of the Florida peninsula, bypassing [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]].<ref>Pennsylvania Railroad, January 1954, page 9, Table C http://streamlinermemories.info/PRR/PRR54-1TT.pdf</ref><ref>Maiken, Peter. ''Night Trains'', Johns Hopkins University Press, 1989, p. 142.</ref> The [[Seaboard Coast Line]] (a merged line from the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Coast Line) until 1971 ran a local train (the last passenger train for the region north of St. Petersburg and west of Dade City) through those towns from Jacksonville and [[Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]], bound for St. Petersburg.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Seaboard Coast Line section, Table 15, p. 295|journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=102 |issue=12 |date=May 1970}}</ref> Prior to the 1967 merger for the SCL that service had been the western branch of the ACL's ''[[Champion (train)|Champion]]'' from New York City.<ref>April 1967 ACL Timetable, Table 14, reproduced http://www.thejoekorner.com/brochures/acl-timetable/</ref> Until 1968 the SCL ran its ''Sunland'' from Washington, DC and Portsmouth, VA to Tampa.<ref>Seaboard Coast Line timetable, December 31, 1967, Table 20</ref>

The SAL Tarpon Springs branch line from Tarpon Junction 14 miles west of Tampa to Elfers and thence to Newport Richey to New Port Richey was lost its passenger service and became listed as freight only between 1932 and 1938.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Seaboard Air Line Railway, Table 10|journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=64 |issue=9 |date=February 1932}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=Seaboard Air Line Railway, Table 16|journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=71 |issue=3 |date=August 1938}}</ref> The freight branch was truncated to Elfers in 1943. The tracks from Elfers and Chemical (an industrial area in the extreme southwest part of the county along the [[Anclote River]] west of Holiday) to [[Tarpon Springs, Florida|Tarpon Springs]] had its last freight train on December 24, 1986, leaving the western half of the county without freight rail service.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of Railroads in Pasco County, Florida |url=https://www.fivay.org/railroads.html |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=www.fivay.org}}</ref>
