Kiddieland's Steam Train delighted kids of all ages for 50 years at Chicagoland's last remaining amusement park.

Did I miss something? What is Great America?

There is a 40oz Prime Rib with my name all over it.

Now, onto the big boy coaster seat thread....

and SFGAm isn't exactly in Chicago, not that Kiddieland was, but it was a few blocks from Chicago, SFGAm is 40 miles.

It says Chicagoland.

Gurnee is a part of Chicagoland.

Just pointed it out for fun. Nothing serious obviously. :)

Just checked the location for this place. You seriously going to drive that far for a train ride? Well, get some pics buddy.

I liked the other one better - deisel. Does anyone know where that went? Just curious even though I wouldn't make out of my way to go there.

Instead of doing a PTR for this, I figured it would just be easier to update this topic.

Below is a link to my facebook page, that has pictures from my trip to the Hesston Steam Museum from today.

Got 2 rides on the Kiddieland Limited. Not sure if they will only run these on special events, or more often. Either way, its a fun place to visit to ride a piece of Chicago History.
