Seminole Gulf Railway

In November 1987, Seminole Gulf Railway (SGLR) acquired 118 miles of CSX trackage between North Naples and Arcadia, as well as, between Oneco (Bradenton) and Sarasota. SGLR now hauls much of the region's building materials, newsprint, LP gas, plastics, stone, recycled materials, steel, and other commodities. The railroad owns and manages a fleet of railcars rolling throughout North America. SGLR also helps clients with industrial development services.

In addition to providing traditional rail freight transportation, Seminole Gulf's related companies provide other vital supply chain solutions for Southern Florida, including regional trucking and logistical services, as well as warehousing and distribution from its frozen, refrigerated food and dry goods distribution centers located in Miami, North Fort Myers, and Lakeland.

In January 1991, Seminole Gulf Railway opened The Dinner Train, followed shortly by the commencement of daytime excursion trains. Soon thereafter, the Dinner Train began its first Murder Mystery Production, "Murder on the Seminole Express" which became an instant success. Other popular trips followed, such as the Christmas Rail/Boat Trip to Punta Gorda that has become an annual event for many guests.

For thirty one years, The Murder Mystery Dinner Train has hosted almost one million patrons and has premiered over 200 new murder mystery productions. The train seats up to 216 passengers in five reconditioned vintage railcars from the 1930's to the 1950's, "Pine Island", "Sanibel", "Marco", "Gasparilla", and "Captiva". All food is prepared fresh daily on board the train in the "Marco" kitchen, and brought to your table by our dedicated staff.
