The Rock River Cannonball is arguable the most famous feature of Threshermen's Park. Fans of coal-fired steam trains can ride the Cannonball during three events: Swap Meet weekend (first full weekend in June) Annual Reunion (Labor Day weekend) Haunted Train Rides (October weekends) As a coal-fired steam train, it puts out a lot of soot that tends to spatter riders. (In other words, don't wear white.) The 2-foot gauge 0-4-0 locomotive built by Henschel Locomotive Works of Germany in 1943.
