Great America Scenic Rwy blue train No. 22 @ Gurnee IL (1982)

            1975 Custom Fabricators No. 4, 2-4-0 (Porter),  built on an 0-4-0 Davenport frame.

The Great America Scenic Railway is a 1-mile narrow-gauge amusement park railroad located at the Six Flags (formerly Marriott's) Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois. It opened with the park in 1976. 

The line is a 1 mile loop and has two stations: Hometown Square and County Fair. It operates two trains, the red train and the blue train (each with open air passenger cars). Ride duration is 15 minutes, 5-10 minutes between each station. The train allows you to see some backstage areas and rides from a different view

The Pictorium (shown to the right of the train station) was constructed in 1978, and was opened in 1979. It was one of the first-ever IMAX theaters of its size. It featured the movie, "To Fly!" on screens. The park would later showcase many movies and films, along with the Susan Rosen hypnotist show during Fright Fest. In 2018, it was closed and was demolished to make way for the Maxx Force roller coaster.
