The catch is you can't use any of the rail lines between Orlando and Parrish.
How do you get it from point A to point B? Very carefully.
Lots of heavy duty lifting required. Some assembly and disassembly as well.
But R. Johnson and Sons House and Building Movers in Parrish are old hands at this sort of thing.
They take off the steel wheels and put on rubber tires and haul it down the road.
No kidding. That's how they do it. The Monte Rosa got off the road and onto the tracks at the Florida Railroad Museum on Thursday.
Formerly part of Church Street Station in Orlando, lots of folks saw the Monte Rosa over the years as they went to a night out at Howl at the Moon. Great place.
Now a piece of Church Street Station has come to Parrish. And there's more coming.
See our story in Friday's Herald.
