So does this mean that they'll be no use for the tracks at all? Will there be any trains on the track? This is such a loss.

Yeah. It went past my place--and I am glad to see it go. It would be a great boon to the county to have a bike and walking trail put in its place.

I have enjoyed working on the Orange Blossom and learned to fall in love with the steam engine. She will be missed.

I'm sorry to hear that the company did not renew. The train is wonderful to hear and watch. Too bad, so sad.

I am sorry to see it go. *If the trails won't be completed for 5 years, they need to remove those new stop signs at the tracks on Liberty Ave and Clayton St.

So sad to see this great train leave. It brought in tourism for the cities of tavares and Mt. Dora... Wish the Pinsly Railroad co. would reconsider. Such wonderful history behind this wood burning steam locomotive. It's one of a kind. I assume bike trails and walks are of greater historic value come the time. Then some homeowners can complain about the noise garbage and traffic of their pets.. We have the bike and walk trails here in Clermont and Groveland. Was a big waste of money. How much will that bring in for revenue for local businesses? umm. But so long and toot toot to the number 2. Long may she chug away in a wonderful new place.. It was wonderful to know her. A piece of American history to fade in the past.

So very sad!!! Love to see and hear the train! My dad was a railroad man and it breaks my heart to see it go! It is part of Mt. Dora's charm.

Please change the final date for this awesome piece of history to take its last "run". I am just finding out about this sad news as I am sure others are. Extending this date would be very much appreciated. Better yet.........don't stop it at all!!
