Yes, there was another train ride in the park called "The Grand Centennial Railroad Excursion" Train on the West side of the park from 1975 - 1985. There were two trains.
The train engines, track and cars were removed from the Monolith cement factory in Tehapachi California and rebuilt at Magic Mountain. I do not know of any film or video footage, but bet there is some out there somewhere.
This is incredible footage. a remarkable piece of history gone but not forgotten. was'nt there another railroad attraction in operation and is there footage of that as well?

@jsikora92371 The 99 Steam Train was not closed down to make room for Colossus. Colossus opened in 1978, and the Steam Train closed 2 years later in 1980. I was the operator on the 99 Steam Train while Colossus was in operation. Colossus was not close to the 99 Steam Train at all.
@97trainman Shut the ride down because of low attendance and high maintenance . Was located near the "kids section" of the park tucked away in a corner, and hard to find.
thanks for this. my family went there in the late 70s early 80's. trying to remember if thery had a cage boat ride, (not sure if i made it up or remember for real, it would be a little kids ride before bugs bunny)
