I work there and have been inside of it. It’s usually around 120 degrees in the drivers seat. It was made in 1967 for when the zoo railroad first opened. It was custom built for the zoo by a company that uses train parts to build trains for places like that. It is our main train. The 104 train was built in 1890 in Austria and was used in both world wars. The technical name for it is the Kraus S Class train which is a prototype of a Kraus U Class train. It originally burned wood but the repurposed it to use steam. There is also a diesel train that is not used for guests that we use for maintenance. It was built in October of 1957 for the Bethlehem steel company. It is are heaviest and largest train you might be able to see it on the track after the train station closes. It is bright red. If you type in “Bethlehem Steel 29A train” you can’t see an older photo of it painted orange.
