Mt. Dora Doodlebug
Visitors to the Orlando area may want to check out the Mt. Dora Doodlebug, which provides a neat sight-seeing ride through the beautiful Mount Dora area near Orlando on a cool 1920's motorized rail car, sometimes called a "Trolley".

This is a very neat experience, especially for kids and younger adults who don't remember the old trolleys which used to run in many cities.
The Motorman
The car has controls at both ends, and the Motorman moves from one end to the other, depending on which way the car is going.  The conductor keeps up a friendly dialog with the passengers explaining things about the car and the route.		 The Conductor
