There is a new railroad in town! The Great Chicago Kiddie Express comes to Wheeling, Illinois with the start of a completely mobile children’s trackless train.

Owner Phil Mostaccio decided to purchase a train after having one run at his annual backyard bar-b-q for several years and then one year finding the train unavailable. Saying, "The train was such a huge success during the bar-b-q!", Phil decided that when this train became available he could work it into his other businesses, Completely Nuts and the Chicago Cookie Shop (both located at Navy Pier in Chicago).

Phil, knowing that he could use a trackless train as both an advertising vehicle and a moneymaker, went to the boss, Phil asked his partner and wife, Chris Mostaccio, if they could afford such an item. Chris, having been very happy with the results of train rides on her own driveway, told Phil that as long as he could turn it into some form of revenue and could lock in some trustworthy help they could get the train.

Phil then went to his friends, Ron and Mark, and asked if they would be interested in participating in a venture that works mostly evenings and weekends. Both Ron and Mark were giddy with anticipation!

Phil, now having a service team in place and a train in the trailer, set his sights on putting smiles on children's faces!

The Great Chicago Kiddie Express is available for rental 7 days week inside or out. It will work on any hard surface and will fit into an elevator if needed at your office or banquet hall. The train will carry 15 to 20 children in its 4 cars or a reduced number of adults. Train rental includes engineer and helper. Train whistles and hats are also available for the complete train experience. Suggested train rentals would be birthday parties for children 2-12 years and events where children entertainment is requested.

The Great Chicago Kiddie Express looks forward to seeing your smile soon!
