Did you know?
The original Orange Blossom Special was a passenger train operated by the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The train was an all Pullman extra-fare train that carried passengers from New York City to the resorts of the the east coast of Florida. The Orange Blossom Special first ran on November 21, 1925 and was cancelled without ceremony in the early 1960s. (The Seaboard Air Line was so called because it followed a direct route, called an air line by 19th century surveyors.)
The fiddle tune, “Orange Blossom Special” by Ervin Rouse and Robert Russell “Chubby” Wise was composed in 1938. It has been called the best known fiddle tune of the twentieth century.
