Thorpe Farm Train 2004

A Canada creek train at the old and now closed Thorpe Farm station,

 

An 'Old West' style locomotive, with a traditional tender and cowcatcher, provides transport on the Canada Creek Railway. Although it looks like a steam engine it is actually powered by diesel. The Canada creek railway used to link the main island of Thorpe Park up with the Thorpe Park Farm which was located on the far side of the lake. The ride has these blue and yellow coloured trains that also went around the whole of Canada Creek on the return journey, which was (and still is) the only way you can see Loggers Leap without going on the ride.

 

You can no longer travel to Thorpe Farm, the ride now just goes round Canada Creek. The farm is now closed permanently. All of the animals have been moved to Chessington.
