Amusement park railways have had a long and varied history in American amusement parks as well as overseas. Some of the earliest park trains were not really trains; they were [[Tram|trolleys]], which brought park patrons to the parks on regular rail lines from the cities to the end of the rail lines where the parks were located. Some older parks, such as [[Kennywood]] in [[Pennsylvania]], were referred to as [[trolley park]]s. The earliest park trains that only operated on lines within the park's boundaries, such as the one on the [[Ridable miniature railway|ridable miniature]] Zephyr Railroad at [[Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom]], were mostly custom-built. A few parks trains, including [[Disneyland Railroad]], [[Walt Disney World Railroad]], and [[Dollywood Express]], operate using locomotives that had working careers on common carrier railways. Amusement park railways tend to be [[Narrow-gauge railway|narrow-gauge]], meaning the space between their rails is smaller than that of {{Track gauge|ussg|allk=on}} railroads. Some specific narrow gauges that are common on amusement park railroads are {{Track gauge|3ft|lk=on}} gauge, {{Track gauge|2ft6in|lk=on}} gauge, {{Track gauge|2ft|lk=on}} gauge, and {{Track gauge|15in|lk=on}} gauge.
