The Lakeside Amusement Park (originally named White City, opened in 1908) has continuously run these miniature trains for the enjoyment of the public. The 22" gauge lake-circling miniature railway train features the steam train locomotives "Puffing Billy" and "Whistling Tom" from the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair along with the world's first miniature gauge diesel locomotive, patterned after the California Zephyr. The ride attracts young and old alike.
