Thanks for the link.
I don't recall hearing about Freedomland before. Here is what Wikipedia says regarding the Freedomland railroad:
Quote
Wikipedia: Freedomland USA
Freedomland U.S.A. had a railroad and an aerial lift ride carrying passengers between different parts of the park.[17] The 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge Santa Fe Railroad traveled between the Chicago and San Francisco areas of the park. The ride was approximately six minutes in duration and consisted of a loop stretching about 1 mile (1.6 km). Two locomotives named Monson No. 3 and Monson No. 4, as well as passenger coaches and flatbeds, were leased from the Edaville Railroad in Massachusetts, and transported back to the Edaville Railroad via truck in between seasons.
