Missouri - Worlds Of Fun Railroad

Kansas City, MO - ELI or the Worlds Of Fun Railroad's engine is an american-style engine which originally began running in 1888 and was run on the main line until 1958 or eighty years. Worlds Of Fun's locomotive is a balloon stacked 4-4-0 american engine or the traditional locomotive for about one hundred years.

Worlds of Fun's ELI is a reproduction of the original 4-4-0's and was built by Crown Metal Products specifically for Worlds of Fun. ELI is a full scale working model, that weighs over 25 tons, and that's just the tender and the engine. It is also currently powered by LP gas, not the more traditional coal, due to the fact that propane burns cleaner then coal. ELI currently runs on 36 narrow gauge track that is over a mile long, running around the original perimeter of the park.
