QUOTE: Originally posted by dblstack Since it sounds like you are in Northern Illinois, I'd recommend a trip out to the Illinois RR Museum at Union Illinois. I believe that most weekends they have steam, diesel and electric rides available. Its a nice place to spend an afternoon. http://www.irm.org/
QUOTE: Originally posted by rebelfdl Sounds like you're talking about the Great Circus Train. It still runs, but without regular Steam power. Certain years, steam engines such as C&NW #1385 would pull the Train.
QUOTE: Originally posted by CG9602 There is the Rail Museum in North Freedom, WI, as well as the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay. One of those may be what you are thinking of. Probably the train in North Freedom, as that is less than 30 miles from Baraboo, Wisc. The train ride you refer to has not been done in at least a decade. See midcontinentrailwaymuseum.org
