This steam train operated for several decades in Mount Dora, Florida. The Orange Blossom Cannonball ceased operations in January 2017. This video is footage from the Mount Dora Cannonball that operated during the 1990's. The steam excursion began from either Mount Dora or Tavares. Take the train, stay to eat & shop, and catch a train back to your starting point. The historic stations, are located in the heart of downtown Mount Dora and Tavares! The excursion was a 1-hour 45-minute roundtrip between depots. It consisted of vintage coaches pulled by our 1907 wood-fired steam locomotive or our 1941 GE 45 ton center cab locomotive. These train cars appeared in over 20 movies, including: “True Grit”, “Appaloosa”, “3:10 to Yuma”, and “O Brother, Where Art Thou?.” Ride in the actual coaches where famous stars such as Robert Redford, Johnny Cash, and George Clooney once performed.
