Can't make out whats on the cars but they have something to do with Florida. Don't know if it may be a snowbird train or a tourist train in Florida. If I knew what the logos say on the cars, I may be able to research it, All I can make out is tracks in the sand. The orange slice, space shuttle, and sea shell tell me it has to do with Florida.

I've heard of this one before - one of the big advertisers in MR has it for $49 at the moment, never seen any pictures though. I just wish my LHS had those sets, ideally for the same price - my 5-car Superliner set cost about £100 or so to assemble from single cars, then another £60 or so on MHCs and Express Boxcars!

Other than these are Amtrak cars running in florida. They are definately from Fl because ive seen these around. I know you cant read it, but each one is named after a city in Fl - miami, ft lauderdale, jacksonville, ect. The services to FL are called the Silver services. other than that, i do not know exactly what line it runs.[2c]
