https://youtu.be/Whglfti8dXY Click on the link. This a park in Celmenton, NJ. When I used to visit my Grandmother, we would walk to park, ride this train. She lived near the park. She passed away in 2001. Park has been sold years ago. Sadly this train ride, roller coaster also in video were removed, got rid of by new owners. More of a water themed modern park. Still nice park, have not been there since sold in years.

I think Storybook land, Jenkinson’s, and Playland’s Castaway Cove in NJ have a mini train like this. Great Adventure got rid of theirs after 1980, the trains remained on the property for several years. Hunt’s Pier and Marine Pier in Wildwood had mini steam trains but they are both gone and Hunt’s Pier is defunct and Marine Pier was bought by Morey’s in 1977 and renamed Mariner’s Landing, the train was gone at that point. Most surviving PA parks have a train ride or two.
We ride a C.P. Huntington train at Family Kingdom in Myrtle beach, SC each year. I would venture a guess that the Clementon Park train was built by them. The train in Myrtle beach has a Ford gasoline 4- cylinder engine.
I like their train and ride it each time we go there. My kids and now the grandchildren ride with me. I ride it even if they don't.
That's a Chance C. P. Huntington. The tenders are all uniquely numbered in order of production. The most common amusement park train out there today. The other common brand is MTC (Miniature Train Company).
