This attraction was permanently closed in 2017. The Cannonball was a steam train excursion that opened in the late 1990's -- and operated by several companies until closing down a few years ago. There were dinner trains operated with a Diesel locomotive in the area through 2019, when the Florida Central Railroad closed these rails to all passenger train operation.
