That’s not really workable for the urban areas that grew around the railroad. Up in Brevard, there was a lot of earthwork done to elevate the approach to Pineda Causeway over the tracks, but a few miles south the Downtown Melbourne district would be destroyed by the same level of effort to move the roads to suit the rails.Further south, some the historic Flagler right-of-way that went from downtown Miami to the Keys has the Miami Metrorail running on an elevated viaduct, and it does work well, but I’m not sure if it could support a freight train.
