Long before commuter rail came to Central Florida, Winter Park had a little train everyone called the Dinky. 🚂

The Orlando and Winter Park Railway opened in the late 1880s, a narrow gauge line with small engines and short trains running between Orlando and Winter Park. It later reached out toward Oviedo, hauling citrus, lumber, and passengers through the lake country.

The Dinky was never fast, and that was part of its charm. The popular stories say riders sometimes hopped off to pick oranges or wildflowers and climbed back on before it got away. Rollins College students rode it into Orlando for errands and outings, and the tracks ran along the shore of Lake Virginia right beside the campus. 🍊

As paved roads and automobiles took over, the little railroad faded, and its trains were gone by the late 1960s.

Today the spot where the tracks met Lake Virginia is a small lakeside park called Dinky Dock, a favorite place for a swim or a sunset, and most visitors have no idea a train once rattled past. 🌅

Did you ever hear an older relative talk about riding the Dinky?
