Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad

Ойын-сауық

Many people today have never been on a train. And still fewer people have been on a real steam train. That’s why Kings Island’s recreation of the railroad of the late 1800’s appeals to guests of all ages. Kings Island’s two locomotives have been at the park since it opened in 1972 and are scale replicas of the famous 1800’s locomotive known as The General, which was the subject of the Great Locomotive Chase of the American Civil War (The General is preserved at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia). Although Kings Island’s engines are fired by propane rather than coal, the 400-gallon boilers on each engine provide plenty of capacity to make them real authentic steam-spitting locomotives. Each of the two engines - Blue No. 12 and Green No. 19 - pulls six coaches and when both trains are filled to capacity, 960 guests can be on rail at one time.

    Nice video. I used to work at the LaRosa's in Rivertown and my son worked the photo booth on Diamondback and Mystic Timbers this year. I was hoping that Cedar fair would have redone the wild west theming of the ride I'm not sure they will do that in todays sensitive climate. The Fort that you go by on the ride contains what is left of the original farm house on the land when it was sold. One of the conditions of selling the property was that the house not to be demolished. The family grave yard is still there at the park entrance.

    Now that’s pretty cool, a propane conversion. 42” drive wheels, I’m pretty sure that’s what GE and EMD run on their big 6 axle road units. I’m pretty sure your average rail car has 32 or 36” wheels. That’s awesome you got to see the inside of the loco…btw “do you work for NS?”😂. This looks like a pretty cool theme park.
