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.

South Carolina - Cleveland Park Miniature Train
Spartanburg, SC - The Kiwanis Club donated the original miniature trains for Cleveland and Mary H. Wright Parks in 1952. Sometime later, when the Cleveland Park train needed extensive repairs, it was sold, and was replaced by the train from Mary H. Wright Park. In 1996 the train was taken out of service because of needed repairs. It has since been restored to its original working condition and will soon operate in the newly renovated Cleveland Park. The train remains the cornerstone of the park, bringing delight to children of all ages, and making memories for a new generation.
