"Custom Fabricators was a company that had built five 2-4-0 steam outlines made out of frames from 0-4-0s and ran on Detroit Diesel engines hiding in the tender. Four of the locmotives went to the two Great America Parks, and one ended up in Ramada Express in Nevada. Over the years at Great America Santa Clara one of the locomotive's was just used to repair the other. In 2001 the Railway was removed and the equipment sold off. I recently tracked down the red locomotive that used to run at Santa Clara's Great America. After being sold on Trains-Trams-Trolleys, it sat in Williston's Crossing RV park in Florida after a plan fell through to expand the RV park with a train ride and various other amenities..."

Search was [Great America Amusement park train rides]: [www.google.com]

This search [Williston Crossings RV park "locomotive"] leads to "Surviving Steam Locomotives in Florida", which indicates (about 75% down the page) the locomotive is at Kirby Family Farm. KFF's "Railroad" page is "under construction", so try this search: [kirby family farm train #19].
