Kings Island & Miami River Railroad "Kenny Van Meter" Steam Locomotive Number 12

On the holiday weekend of July 4, 2022, I opted to head out to Kings Island the day before (July 3) to enjoy some coasters, good weather, and steam locomotives. I had assumed that both steam locomotives would be running due to large crowds, and I ended up being correct. I didn't worry with videoing the number 19, as I have plenty of footage of it already, and instead focused on the 4-4-0 "American" type #12, also named Kenny Van Meter. I noticed that the #12 tended to wheel slip much more frequently than the #19, possibly due to being rated for a lower horsepower (I'm not sure, I'd have to go and check). However, despite only being an amusement park steam locomotive, I was glad to finally get it on video. It's also of note that this is my 25th operational steam locomotive I have seen. Enjoy!
