A color photograph of a small children’s road train operating in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, New York, taken in 1970. The miniature locomotive and open-sided cars carry families and children along paved paths within the park.
The train is prominently branded with Schaefer Beer logos, an example of mid-20th-century corporate sponsorship in public recreational spaces. Each carriage features Schaefer advertising alongside the slogan referencing the brewery’s long history, a striking contrast given that the attraction itself was aimed at children.
In the background, park signage points toward nearby attractions including the marina and arena, while bare-branched trees suggest early spring. The scene captures a period when beer companies commonly sponsored family-oriented attractions, events, and public amenities across New York City.
