Miniature Railroad  was a three foot high locomotive

that could handle roughly a dozen or so passengers at a time.

The trains were built by the Cagney  brothers, and their miniature locomotives were a big hit at the Fair, the company constructed twenty (20) 15″ gauge 4-4-0s and four (4) 22″ gauge 4-4-0s which were used as public transportation on the fairgrounds.

There were eight miles of track.

The attraction had three lines:

1: Ran the length of the Pike.

2:      Ran  from Pike to Boer War and Philippine Reservation.

3:      Ran to the Anthropological exhibits.

A ride cost a dime.
