Seminole Gulf Railway's Dinner Train Theater

The Seminole Gulf Railway's Dinner Train Theater is located in Fort Myers, Florida. It is run on a piece of track purchased for hauling freight, but has shown itself to be a marvellous place to enjoy an evening, entertainment and good food.

The theater opened for business in 1991, providing day trips. Not long after, it began producing theatrical performances on board, including 'Murder on the Seminole Express'. Other dinner and theater evenings soon followed with Christmas railway and boat trips, murder mystery events and others, serving two hundred passengers per trip in vintage type railcars dating from the 30s to the 50s. Meals are freshly prepared on board by dedicated chefs and served in the traditional silver service manner.

The theater has four railcars the Captiva, Gasparilla, Marco and Sanibel. Each one has been reconditioned to reflect the 30s to 50s eras and provide a level of elegance that is rarely seen on modern railroads anywhere in the world. The main kitchen is located on the Marco, but each car has its own stage and dining areas.

The Seminole Gulf Railway's Dinner Train Theater has captured the history of railroading in Florida in a very unique fashion. Its successful dinner and theater evenings are so popular that reservations need to be made months in advance.
