Album Info:
In November 1987, Seminole Gulf Railway ( SGLR ) acquired 118 miles of CSXT trackage between North Naples & Arcadia, Fl. as well as between Oneco ( Bradenton ) & Sarasota. SGLR now hauls much of the regions building materials, newsprint, LP Gas, plastics, stone, recycled materials, steel, & other commodities. The railroad owns & manages a fleet of railcars rolling throughout North America. SGLR also helps clients with industrial development services. In addition to providing traditional rail freight transportation, Seminole Gulf's related companies provide other vital supply chain solutions for Southwest Florida, including regional trucking & logistics services, as well as warehousing & distribution from its 1.6 million cubic foot, frozen, refrigerated food & dry goods distribution center located in North Fort Myers. While Seminole Gulf Railway began operating freight trains in 1987, In January 1991, the Fay Family & Seminole Gulf Railway opened The Dinner Train, followed shortly by the commencement of daytime excursion trains. Soon thereafter, the Dinner Train began its 1st Murder Mystery Production, " Murder on the Seminole Express " which became an instant success. Other popular trips followed, such as the Christmas Rail/Boat Trip to Punta Gorda that has become an annual event for many guests. Over the past 2 decades, The Murder Mystery Dinner Train has hosted over 1/2 million patrons & has premiered over 80 new murder mystery productions. The train seats up to 200 passengers in 4 reconditioned vintage railcars from the 1930's to the 1950's, Sanibel, Marco, Gasparilla, & Captiva. All food is prepared fresh daily on board the train in the Marco kitchen & brought to your table by their dedicated staff.
