Video is from my parents old 8mm silent film home movie collection. Not sure of the year but most likely very early 60's. The farm is/was located in South Florida. My sister and I are seen together on the train and after the ride was over.

I was born in Miami in 1957. There were many times that my family would go to the airport to watch the planes take off and land and then we'd go to Dressel's Dairy for ice cream. We loved riding the train but didn't always get the chance. Thanks for the memories.

I lived there with my parents,,(Goings) about 1962. I remember those days fondly, along with the Superman ice cream,lol. The train was my favorite, and trains still are today.

My mother went there to Dressels, with her parents in the 1950's when she was little. They lived in Miami. She remembers the train, the fence, cows,pony rides and that car park area.

I don't remember the pony rides but then again I barely remember the train! Those were the days . . .

I still remember going! We were there more than the one time shown in the video. Wasn't there ice cream too? (I'm David's "baby" sister ha ha)

This must have been taken just before we moved. You must be around my age.. I was born in 1950. I have 7 brothers and sisters and I've shared the video with them..along with some of the families that lived and worked on the dairy. I heard from the boy that was driving the train...of course he's a grown man now...we're all older, but those were special times for all of us!

This is amazing!! This is our dad's dairy. We moved the dairy to Highlands County, FL in 1958. Thanks for posting this great memory!
