Digital Live Sound Video: The Kiddieland Limited steam train chuffs off in to history. Kiddieland Amusement Park. Sunday, September 27th 2009.

I photographed this digital live sound video on the afternoon of Sunday, September 27th 2009. We are looking through and over the chain link fence, along the southwest curve of the Kiddieland Amusement Park's Miniature Railroad ride.

Sunday, September 27th 2009 was the last day of operation at Chicago's Kiddieland Amusement Park in near northwest suburban Melrose Park Illinois. After 81 years in operation, the park was officially closing for good. The sad day was appropriately overcast and rainy.

The Kiddieland limited steam train, was making one of several last runs on this day.
I tried to get the locomotive operators attention to blow the whistle, but unfortunately He ignored Me. I can't blame Him either. His mind was definately somewhere elese. This video is a scene of an era coming to an end in the greater Chicagoland area. Kiddieland will be missed by many. R.I.P 1928 -2009.
