Bob’s Train Restaurant is located at 2211 Fruitville Road Sarasota.  It is located in an abandoned parking lot. It consists of multiple railroad cars acquired by owner Bob Horne. One of the renovated cars functions as a dining room. Two cars are literally a museum with multiple pictures on the walls.

     The oldest car dates to 1916.  It was the private car.of John and Mabel Ringling.

     The restaurant  owner is Bob Horne.  He has hadv many careers throughout the years.  Early in his life, he was a ringmaster and circus performer for multiple circuses.  During our visit  he provided us with a history of his life and his acquisition of multiple railroad cars.  An interesting note is the restaurant waitress was a member of the Wallenda circus family
