The Frisco Silver Dollar Line (FSDL) was started in 1962 and had one locomotive pulling the trains: a 1920 2-4-0 built by Davenport Locomotive Works numbered 76. Currently, it has been retired and is on display by the roundhouse. It has been unofficially numbered 9. In 1969, 3 European switch engines came to SDC: a 1934 0-4-0T built by Orenstein and Koppel (O&K) in Hamburg, Germany numbered 43, a 1938 0-4-0T built by O&K in Hamburg, Germany numbered 13, and a 1940 0-4-0T built by Kolben-Danek in Czechoslovakia numbered 76. A fifth engine, number 7, was brought to SDC and dismantled for a train wreck scene as the "Wreck of 82". Number 7 is number 43's sister engine. The current engineers are: Richard Finn, Noah Bentley, Andrew Dean, Dominique Hogue, and Chris Brummett. In 2010, Noah added Silver bands to the locomotives and a fresh coat of paint. 43 and 76 received silver numbers on their headlamps. The Southern 3 Chime on 76 received a red coat of polish. In early 2010, they received new throttles. They even got new engineer seats. In August 2010, 76 received a new exhaust nozzle (which made her louder). In December 2010, 13 received a new whistle, a Santa Fe 6 Chime. She also received an exhaust nozzle. In 2011, new painting details where added to the engines. The Southern 3 Chime, SP 6 Chime, and Santa Fe 6 Chime were polished silver. In June 2011, 13 received a straight stack. They also started building new train cars. In 2012, 76's diamond stack was removed and received a new whistle, the D&RGW 5 Chime. In 2013, the FSDL started the Americanization process. New paint details were added and the tanks were painted black along with gold bands. They even made drawings of tenders which are to be approved for construction.
Marvel Cave First discovered by Osage Indians in the 16th Century, it was known as “The Devil’s Den” for the strange noises coming from inside. In 1869 explorers believed the cave to be filled with riches, including marble, and gave it the name Marble Cave. With no mineral deposits being found, the cave instead was used to mine bat guano later in the 1880s. As a tourist destination, the cave’s history is also rich. It far outdates the City as an attraction, with tours first beginning in 1894 conducted by William Henry Lynch and his two daughters, Miriam and Genevieve. During their ownership the name was changed to Marvel Cave to describe its beauty and majesty. Leased by the Herschend Family in 1950, the cave was modernized and in 1960 Silver Dollar City, an 1880s Ozark Mountain Village, opened above it. The new park evolved around the entrance to Marvel Cave, one of nature's greatest wonders, and harkened back to the original mining town that sat on the site above the massive cavern.
