The Seaboard Air Line Railroad's Miami Subdivision was a railroad line in Florida connecting the network to the city of Miami. Officially beginning in Wildwood on the company's Main Line, the Miami Subdivision split from the Main Line five miles south of Wildwood in Coleman and ran through rural Central Florida before reaching South Florida and Miami, a distance of 273 miles. The Miami Subdivision was built during the Florida land boom of the 1920s and a vast majority of the line is still in service today. It is now CSX Transportation's Auburndale Subdivision from Auburndale to Mangonia Park and the state-owned South Florida Rail Corridor south of there.
