[PRCo] Re: 11 Beloved Trolley Parks - ABC News

[Ken and Tracie]

What about Lagoon in Utah? That park was built by the Salt Lake and Ogden 
(Bamberger) interurban. It is still in business.

Ravina Park, in Illinois, still exists. It is no longer an amusement park, 
but it was at an earlier time, served by the North Shore Line. I believe the 
NSL, or its predecessor, C & M E, owned it for a time.

Or is this a list of surviving "trolley parks" once served strictly by 
"city" car lines?
