Steam locomotive 127 on the Quinsippi Central Railway at Quinsippi Island in Quincy, Illinois, in 1969, shown beside the railway’s red turntable with the Mississippi River visible beyond the trees. The miniature locomotive is seen in black livery with its tender attached, adding a more traditional steam railway scene to the island’s wider mix of mid-century leisure attractions. Quinsippi Island was developed in the 1960s as a family destination with a miniature railroad, Sky Cruise aerial chairlift, paddlewheel boat, amusement rides, zoo, log cabin village and museum features. The railway operated for visitors until 1983, making this colour photograph a useful record of one of Quincy’s most distinctive lost tourist attractions.
