Matthew Gustafson:
Does anyone know the past to present history about this railroad? ??? ::) ;) :)

Mike the Choochoo Nix:
Matt,
  Type "edaville railroad history" into Google and you'll get several hits that will answer the basics.
Enjoy

Will Kalasky:
Matt, I'd also recommend watching Mark I's two-part series on Edaville. You can get it here: http://unix8.sunserver.com/mark1video/-strse-186/EDAVILLE-RALROAD--/Detail.bok

There's an excerpt on YouTube, but the sound is synched incorrectly. Here's the link anyway:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4HVHHcZtbA

I regret being born too late to visit Edaville before the Maine steamers left and the county fair rides moved in... They do have an English-built locomotive, but their website says she hasn't run in 2+ years for unspecified reasons.

Dave Buczkowski:
All, but especially Bruce Wilson;
  I was reading a history of Edaville last night published in 1971 by a Trains magazine writer. (It was a small booklet). In it was a picture of #7 pulling a baggage combine and passenger coaches. As usual, the combine was directly behind the engine. What was unusual was the Santa Fe livery on the combine and first coach. Was this for a special event? Were they used at Pleasure Island and returned after its closing? Thanks.

Vincent "Lightning" LeRow:
Dave I believe the Santa Fe livery was from the coaches short stint at Freedom land USA in the bronx of new york.  I believe there is a thread about this in here somewhere with a video link...
