Downtown Orlando, Fl

[Paulman]

You bet! We're getting further away from downtown Orlando, but here's Louis Dreyfus Citrus—one of the last of the many OJ factories that once thrived in Central Florida. Before the dark times, before the freezes.

Louis Dreyfus Citrus lies at the tail end of the Winter Garden run. The line runs another mile or so before dead-ending at the Central FL RR Museum downtown Winter Garden. Aside from special occasions when Pinsley runs a freshly-washed FCEN locomotive to the museum for the school kids, no trains run past this point.

This industry will be on any Central Florida layout I design that can accommodate these long reefers; I grew up in a citrus town. As you might imagine, I have a few reefer orders in with BLMA and ExactRail.





Here's the other side of the factory. Since I can't get a clean straight-on shot of the factory where I took the other photos, I will probably use a shot from this side as the baseline for a backdrop image.
