And I even guessed the killer correctly. Food and service were just wonderful. If you are ever in or around Fort Myers FL. fun evening.

Hey Buzz, My wife and I took my parents on this train about 2004. Great fun. Before they pulled out of the station at Fort Myers, I got to go into the loco cab and look around.
Those same tracks used to go down to Naples many years ago. !!*ok*!!

They still do. The mystery train runs from downtown Ft. Myers up to almost Punta Gorda and back, about a forty mile trip, the high point is the crossing of the Caloosahatchee River on the draw bridge. The mystery was well done and very funny.

Seminole Gulf Railway's main line (CSX's former Fort Myers Subdivision) runs from Arcadia south through Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, and Bonita Springs before terminating just a mile south of crossing into Collier County in North Naples; a distance of nearly 80 miles.

The company also runs a separate nearly 20 mile line from just south of Bradenton in Oneco south through Sarasota. The line (CSX's former Sarasota Subdivision) went as far south as Venice when Seminole Gulf acquired it, but was truncated to Palmer Ranch (just south of Sarasota) in the mid 2000s. The Sarasota line also includes a short 5-mile branch from downtown Sarasota back north to Matoaka.

Seminole Gulf began operating the lines in late 1987. The main line connects with CSX's Brewster Subdivision in Arcadia and Sarasota line connects with CSX's Palmetto Subdivision in Oneco. The Seminole Gulf Railway has a commonly owned affiliated company, the Bay Colony Railroad Corp. (reporting mark BCLR), which is based in southeastern Massachusetts.

I was going to say those colors and that logo looked very familiar around these parts! Sadly the Bay Colony Railroad is much smaller than it used to be.
