Attention: The last day the steam locomotive will operate will be May 27, 2013. It will be returning to Arkansas for its 15 year inspection. It will return to Tavares and resume operations in mid September 2013. We will continue to operate #33, our diesel locomotive throughout the summer on the

Lake Dora Limited.

 

All Aboard the Orange Blossom Cannonball, Central Florida’s Historic Steam Train on the Tavares, Eustis & Gulf tourist railroad!

 

Visit beautiful Tavares, Florida to begin your journey back in time. Our station, on the shores of Lake Dora in Wooton Park, is where you’ll get your souvenir ticket and board the train. We offer both one hour and two hour trips that are designed to fill your entertainment needs. You will travel in vintage coaches pulled by our 1907 2-6-0 steam locomotive. Also check out our pizza trains, wine & cheese trains, rails & ales trains, Wild West Shoot-Outs and our fantastic trips to the North Pole.

We make memories! Our staff is dressed in period costumes and you are stepping back in time. Take photos, enjoy the stories and narration of the Tavares, Eustis & Gulf Railroad Conductor, and return with priceless memories to share for a lifetime.

Our movie train gives you the opportunity to ride on the actual train that starred in many award winning motion pictures including: “True Grit”, “Appaloosa”, “3:10 to Yuma”, “There Will be Blood”, “Rosewood”, and “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”.

Ride in the coaches where famous stars such as Robert Redford, George Clooney, Patrick Swayze, Jodi Foster, Ed Harris, Renee Zellweger, Vigo Mortensen, and Hailee Steinfeld once posed. Great family entertainment! All aboard, the Orange Blossom Cannonball.
