The Lutz Train Depot in Lutz, FL has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s when it served as a junction for the Tampa Northern Railroad and the Tampa and Gulf Coast Railroad. Originally known as Lutz Station, the depot was renamed Lutz Junction after the railroads joined together. Today, a replica of the original depot stands as a testament to the area's railroad heritage.
Owned by Charles Lutz, the depot played a crucial role in transporting lumber from his sawmill to the Tampa Northern Railroad. The narrow track line, known as the Peavine Railroad, connected the sawmill to the junction at Lutz Station. Over the years, the depot underwent renovations and enlargements, preserving its historical significance for visitors to appreciate.
