I took this photo one weekday evening, in early June of 2007. Summer had just arrived to the greater Chicagoland area, and the Kiddieland Amusement Park had just opened for weeknight business upon the seasonal local school closings.Attendance was a little on the low side on this fine summer evening in early June, but large crowds would replace this in the upcoming weeks.
The Kiddieland Limited, is a 14 inch track guage gas powered replica, of a 1940's and 50's era pre Amtrak streamliner passenger train. The locomotive appears to a working model of an EMD F-7 cab unit diesel locomotive. The locomotive and cars, are painted in the famous Southern Pacific Railroad's orange , red and black "Daylight" color scheme colors, albeit with Kiddieland Limited markings. A miniature classic.
