Eastbound Kiddieland Limited approaching the boarding station. Kiddieland Amusement Park. Melrose Park Illinois USA. August 2006.

I took this photo near the west end of the amusement park. This was a difficult photo to take due to the chain link fencing along the south side of the railroad line. The now eastbound Kiddieland Limited gas powered replica streamliner, has just rounded the curve on the west end of the property, and is heading to the Kiddieland train station to disembark these riders, and take on more passengers. The Kiddieland miniature railroad, circles the amusement parks perimiter in a counter clockwise rotation. The train is painted in the "Daylight" color scheme used by the Southern Pacific Railroad during the 1940's and 50's era. This is a short but pleasant ride.
