My dad was a trainman/ conductor the passenger train that ran to naples he was on its last trip. I remember raiding it several time even with the pullman car.We met him in Ft. Myers on the last trip and rode it to naples.

This railcar was cool, no-doubt. It ran out of Lakeland, Florida in the early '70's down the Fort Myers Subdivision by my house. It never saw anything but stick-rail & the sight of it running at-speed pitching & rolling scared me out of a ride!
