Ol' Smokey

The Clinch Park Marina steam train endlessly circles the spot where the Clinch Park Zoo in Traverse City, Michigan stood for 50 years. The zoo left in 2006, leaving behind a field of massive fake rocks made of concrete, oddly positioned and decorated buildings, and a rock with a Sesquicentennial plaque leaning against it. The city may have renamed the train to encourage riders to look out and see the marina rather than look inside the circle at the former zoo grounds.
