Largo Central Railroad

Largo Central Railroad First full weekend for public run (some exceptions) & party rentals available. Party rental is $175 for one hour. Donations: We're always looking for volunteers.

We do not charge for public run, but we accept donations to keep the trains running. Largo Central Railroad has been providing rides in Largo Central Park since 1991... before LCP was officially a park! We operate the first full weekend of the month. The check in line closes 15 minutes before we end. First Saturday of the month: 10 AM - 4 PM (close at 3 PM in December)
Sunday (after the first Sat

urday): 10 AM - 1 PM

While we do not charge for rides, we do take donations. You may provide a cash donation in one of our boxes, or you can donate using your credit card when you check in online for your ride. We are a non-profit organization, it's because of your generous donations that we are able to continue operations. Membership can be done for an individual, or families. We do allow Junior Members (under 18), but they must be part of a family membership. Volunteers help maintain all equipment, including engines and riding cars (perform inspections, do oil changes, change out trucks, and more), assist in building new track panels, replace and maintain track and ties, including switches, frogs, and any other items that are needed to help ensure our tracks are safe and maintained. Volunteers also drive the trains and conduct. If you are interested in a birthday party:
