Busch Gardens Railroad, 2005-2007



I found this video on You Tube.

Seen here is the narrow guage steam powered railroad, at the Busch Gardens amusement park in Tampa Florida.

I vacationed in Tampa Florida with my family when I was 12 years old back in 1974. Busch Gardens was one of many attractions that we visited in the sunshine state. We traveled from Chicago to Tampa round trip, aboard the now long discontinued Amtrak Floridian passenger train.

When I visited Busch Gardens in 1974, they were using a 4-4-0 steam locomotive modeled after a Brittish prototype, which I seem to recall was butane fired.

Thanks.
