Locomotive near Lake Sumter landing bridge?
 
When we first bought in The Villages (5 years ago) their was a Locomotive (train car) on display just before the bridge coming into Lake Sumter Landing. Shortly after that it disappeared from that location. Does anyone know what ever happened to that Locomotive?

Maybe someone's grandchild climbed on it, fell off, and broke his arm? :jester:

Is it red? I think there is one in Spanish Springs

There is one in Spanish Springs at the transportation station but unsure if it is the one that was removed from the Lake Sumter Bridge area and also unsure if that was already there prior to the 5 year ago time frame. I have always wondered why the locomotive was removed and was hoping someone knew why it was removed. It was really interesting seeing that Locomotive as you approached the bridge from 466.

That would have been my guess as well. The same reason everything else has been removed.:pepper2:

am surprised that it is not part of the new SunRail commuter rail line!
