The East and West Coast Railway was a railroad line running from Bradenton on the west coast of Florida southeast to Arcadia in the Peace River valley.

A year later, Seaboard also purchased the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway.

As a result, Seaboard used the East and West Coast Railway less frequently to the point where the line was completely removed in 1934.

[2] The East and West Coast Railway was one of two railroad lines running from the Bradenton area to the Peace River valley.

The other was the southern extension of the Atlantic Coast Line's Tampa Southern Railroad which ran from Sarasota to Southfort (near Fort Ogden) in a parallel trajectory to the East and West Coast Railway.
