Zoo Train
The Santa Barbara Zoo has two working replicas of the C.P. Huntington locomotive. Per Wikipedia:
"Chance Rides began to fabricate their 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge C. P. Huntington locomotive in 1960. These locomotives are powered by a gasoline, diesel, propane or electric engine. An automatic transmission and drop down 90* gearbox transfers power to the front and rear power trucks via drive shafts and gearboxes. Its drive wheels are not powered but roll on the rails while fake side rods reciprocate in and out of fake cylinders. Many amusement parks are replacing their steam locomotives with these locomotives since they are easier to maintain and operate."
