The Riverside & Great Northern Light Railway at Riverside Park in Janesville. The Railway was moved to Wisconsin Dells, due to complaints from the neighborhood about smoke and noise.

The Rock River Cannonball is a 2-foot gauge 0-4-0 locomotive built by Henschel Locomotive Works of Germany in 1943.
