A Helicopter pad on International Drive Orlando Florida is surrounded by a railtrack with a drive through shed. Parked where the line meets the main road was a streetcar. This was not in use during my visit but was in use as an advertising media for the helicopters. Does anyone have info on this unit.
For aviation buffs the helicopter in use on the pad was N4175P a Robinson R44 Raven. the terminal building has a model railroad layout.

Share the observation of Oracle that the landing pad has been there for some time although I think the railtrack has only been in situ for the last few years. There are three helipads on International drive. (although the one near the Four Points at Sheraton looks to be closed).
Here is a shot of the streetcar from the air I took from N4175P (works #1965) Robinson R44 Raven on approach to the helipad on 11th July this year.

Note International drive in the foreground with the streetcar and Interstate 4 in the background. as can be seen the rail track circumnavigates the helipad.
