PI Update: Remembering the Sunshine Rail Line

If you look real careful on the lower level of Pleasure Island, you can find a faded old mural advertising the Sunshine Rail Line. Long gone from the Florida travel scene, the steam locomotives of the former SRL brought northerners to the warm shores of Disney Springs.

The trains no longer bring vacationers to Disney Springs, they arrive via automobile or coach. There are a few high line trestles scattered across the West Side but the tracks are gone. One reminder that still exists of the old days is this former train station located near West End Plaza. It now serves as a bathroom facility for guests passing nearby.
