     This is a 1954, National Amusement Device Co., Century Flyer Deluxe Trackless Train.  It was in operation at Grant's Farm from 1954 until 1998 when they upgraded to newer trams. 

     Grant's Farm is a 281-acre park, which facilitates more that 1,000 animals.  For many years had been the home of the Busch Family.  Located in Southwest St. Louis County, it is open to the public courtesy of Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company.  They are celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year!
