The Kiddieland Limited departing the station. Kiddieland Amusement Park. Melrose Park Illinois USA. July 2006.

I took this photo one evening after work, in July of 2006. The gasoline powered 14" track guage Kiddieland Limited is seen departing the boarding station on the south side of the amusement park. The train is now begining another counter clockwise rotation around the amusement park perimeter. The Kiddieland Limited is normally powered by two diesel replica EMD F-7 replicas, one "A" Unit ( Seen here.) and a cabless "B" Unit.
The "B" unit was proboubly in the shop for mechanical servicing at the time of this photograph. Still, the train putters on tonight.

My boyfriend loved Kiddie Land as a child and still does. He always looks for the train every time we pass it. This picture bought a smile to my face.
