Two Chance Morgan C.P.Huntington trains have been added to the newly renovated Hermann Park Railroad in Houston's Hermann Park Conservancy, Texas.
The trains each pull six coaches and are ADA compliant, with a daily service running from 10 a.m to 6.30 p.m.
Other developments on the railroad have seen it extended to 1.8 miles to serve the Houston Zoo and Museum District and the original 16in gauge track widened to 24in to accommodate the new trains.
Other attractions at the Conservancy include a public golf course, the McGovern Lake and the Miller Outdoor Theatre, the latter holding approximately 6,000 people.
