All aboard and please stand clear of the doors for a grand circle tour of the best steam trains and monorails of America's theme parks. On our journey we'll get a glimpse of a bygone era while riding a vintage steam train and a vision of a forgotten future on a sleek, streamlined monorail. This tour will highlight the juxtaposition of these titans of theme park transportation: new versus old, clean versus dirty, mechanics hidden versus exposed

Walt Disney World and Disneyland resorts famously have both steam trains and monorails. But they're not the only theme parks who do. There are other smaller, lesser-known amusement parks that have fabulous trains or monorails, and sometimes both. Numerous theme parks used to have one or the other but sadly don't anymore.

Steam Trains and Monorails: The Best of America's Theme Parks examines the history of defunct steam trains and monorails as well as highlighting where you can find the best ones still operating in America today. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
