Amusement park train, probably 36-inch gauge. Is it a restyled Crown Wyano 4-4-0 or a gas-powered fake? Where?

Kinda looks like Busch Gardens, Tampa. The monorail and the overhead gondola ride in he background look familiar. Just a guess.

Bob,

From the colors it looks to be one on the Bush Gardens Amusement Parks.

It may be the one in Williamsburg, I am not sure.
It is a gas powered engine not steam.

I have a similar image in my post card collection.

Looks like it might be this one with a different paint job

It's in Tampa. Under the "make-up," your typical propane-fired, gate valve-throttle 3' Crown.
