Land train
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A land train is a method of transporting small numbers of people short distances often used at tourist attractions. The term is common in Europe but less well-known in North America.
It consists of a small tractor vehicle with either a petrol or electric motor engine that pulls a number of small articulated carriages in the manner of a train. Land trains do not run on rails however (although they do follow closely prescribed routes) and the driver of the tractor can steer the train in the manner of a car. They are often decorated to look like nineteenth century steam trains and carry as many as twenty to thirty people, often transferring them from a car park to a visitor attraction, taking them between two distant attractions or carrying them along a scenic route.
