Love it! Wonderfully done tribute to the train, which after the cave is what helped to build Silver Dollar City.

Fun fact, famous theme park, Dollywood, was also known as “silver dollar city” until 1985, when Dolly bought it and it was renamed Dollywood. Dollywood has two running locomotives, EX White pass and Yukon engines 70 and 192
