Six Flags Great Adventure and SF Magic Mountain had train rides but removed them years ago. The 2 trains at SFMM closed after 1980 and 1985, an employee bought one of them after it closed in 1980 and had it on display at his business but he moved and he sold the train. The reason why Great Adventure closed their train after 1980 was because of the shortage of steam qualified personnel to run and maintain them. They were Crown trains, the smaller ones and one train set had roofs on the coaches the others were open. There are pics on the sfgadv history site.
TrainsWow™ Unfortunately, I don't live in that area, but I'll try and go there someday. Also, Neverland Travel, Six Flags uses actual locomotives from America.
+TrainsWow™ from what I've been able to research, the trains at Six Flags over Texas, Cedar Point, and Walt Disney World were actual working trains before coming to the parks. Cedar Points trains came from a brick manufacturer and the trains at Six Flags over Texas came from a sugar plantation in Louisiana and I believe WDW's trains came from a similar plantation as well. The trains at BGW were custom designed for the parks. BGT has three trains there. The yellow came from Six Flags St Louis, the green came from the Old Dominion line at King's Dominion, and the rarely seen red train was custom designed for BGT. I actually have on ride videos of the trains at Cedar Point, Six Flags over Georgia, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Tampa on my channel.
This is a historical train ride. Real steam engine. I enjoyed it.
They have 2 of them

I'm glad to see Six Flags hasn't gutted this train like they did at their parks in Georgia and Illinois.

Davie Key m
OMG Me too
Only Six Flags engine that still uses Coal!!
Tim Daugherty BRING BACK THE STEAMEAS
Actually, both SFOTRR steam locomotives are oil burners, although I believe the park uses diesel fuel as their fuel.
@@markschroeder2578they used to burn coal at one point
I'll prefer Walt Disney World Railroad with real American locomotive.
I'd prefer the Six Flags and Texas Railroad, because of the actual railroad crossing signals used.
stampycatfan01 The Busch Gardens Tampa railroad has real crossings including one E-Bell crossing!

yeah, Busch Gardens Africa does not because it is themed to Africa!
