Mystery Train Tracks on International Drive | Orlando Florida 4K

Would love to see your views go up as u are very good! What can be done to increase them?

Miss Mercado shopping area....

I just went to Sleuth's about 2 weeks ago and had no idea.

perfact video

Great video😊

Probably from a old Orange Grove farm that had a narrow gauge railroad that then took to a process plant.

The International Toy Train Museum originally opened in 1991 at 5253 International Drive, but had to be relocated in 1995 to 8255 International Drive, where the tracks in this video are, and was renamed Toyland Toy Train Museum. It then relocated a second time around 2000 to the 8990 International Drive Location, and again renamed to Train & Trolley Museum.

It was Trainland of Orlando before they moved to the new location (which they took over from a petting zoo who left their pig behind). I used to work there many, many years ago. It was the same steam reproduction diesel powered train that we moved across the street. It was originally operated out of a storefront in the shopping center with Charlie's Steak House. There was a model train layout and scavenger hunt as well as a retail store with Lionel and Thomas the tank Engine merchandise. The new location had over 4000sf of layout with 20-30 trains running at any given time. The train we had is the same type as the one now at Gatorland, as we sold it to them and installed all the track. I think the engine that was at Trainland (with #18 painted on the outside) ended up at the Osceola Petting Zoo. All that was a long, long time ago and in a different life for me.. but hope this helps.

Thank goodness you've taken a video if these as I've been trying to both pinpoint them as well as identify what they used to be from when I first saw them about 12 years ago when me and my ex girlfriend were taking a stroll randomly along idrive.
I believe if you go either further up or down the road into the parking lots that are alongside, there are more!
Being a railway enthusiast and engineer have always had an interest.
I'll have a look through my satellite imaging service and see roughly where they lead.
It may have been for commercial or industrial use rather than for passenger.... So may be curious as to whether there were any businesses rather than attractions in that area

Just found you and started watching all your videos, love em!! I lived off 192 in 1990, I was 21 yro then. It's so shocking to see what's happened to that area in the last 34 years. I can't believe how badly it's gone down hill, so sad. It was just BOOMING back in the day. There was a shoneys where the Nike outlet is now, family members worked there, next to hotel. Water mania..you'd never know if you didn't know all that used to be there. It's crazy and so sad. Worked in a few restaurants ..used to be 2 Marriott restaurants called Allies, one on Vine and the other on what turned into Sizzlers farther up 192. Captain Nemos seafood was off 192 another gone oldie. the foreigners came in and destroyed that area. So sad. Great videos Micah, really enjoy!!

Was this part of the old The Mercado shopping district? I think I saw a miniature train running that area and I saw this in the late 90s...

i vaguely remember the train back when that area was the Mercado shopping centre. circa 95-00

Very cool that some of the tracks are still there. Ghost tracks now? Lol

Cool video Micah. Cool to see Travis too, He always comes across well in Promises videos. Have visited central Florida for 30+ years and the older i get the more i enjoy the history. Think it's because we've all witnessed so many changes that we get intrigued about how it all began. Pretty cool. Keep them coming man 😎 👍🏻

Love I-Drive!! Keep these videos coming!!

It was the “Old Church Street Station Depot” that was abandoned (then later covered up), because of WDW, and the other “big” attractions, that took away the stations’ charm and use

Crazy...hopefully you will figure it out...I wonder why they just didn't picked up all the tracks.... thanks for sharing....take care....
Have a great day..... thanks......👍👍👍👍

I think where you are was the location of the Mercado Mediterranean Village, which was a shopping and entertainment venue. It would've closed in the mid 00s before being demolished then sat empty for a few years. I certainly remember visiting but I don't remember any train attractions. I don't remember international drive having any sort of actual trolleys, the I ride trolly started in 1998 it was originally a much more frequent service using smaller vehicles, operated by the first class coach company, that would be absolutely crammed full back when international drive was a much busier place then it is today.

Why don't you go to the library in Orlando? You and Adam had good luck there.

“Micah’s Mysteries” every week!!! Outstanding Micah. Love these.

Wasn't it a train museum and a thomas shop? This was back in 2005

I remember taking my daughter to The Great Train Museum. At first it had a real steam engine that we rode around the small area. It was so cool,

The old Mercado Mediterranean Village that sat where Icon Park is today might be a good starting point. It was the heart of International Drive in the 1990's. They once had the Guinness World Records Experience, then it became the Hard Rock Vault, and finally the original home of Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. I worked at the magic store inside the Mercado in 2001 & 2002, so the train or trolley was gone by then. Happy hunting, Micah!

I remember international drive from the late 90s I’ve lived near and visited it since it has changed a lot over the years

My guess: Orlando International Toy Train Museum, 1994-1998. Located in a storefront where Icon Park is today, and a train ran throughout the back parking lot. It was moved in 1998 to the other location you covered where the helicopter tours are now.

The first train tracks you were at was a small train you could ride on I remember it from years

Trainland???
