Rail Entertainment USA Inc. offers trains that have interest with all ages. On March 19, 2010 when we acquired these Florida rail operations, the section of track from Tavares to Mount Dora was out of service due to years of deferred track maintenance.
It is one of our Company’s primary goals to return this scenic section of track back to service in 2010 and offer our branded, family-oriented train excursions using vintage railroad equipment from days long past.
