A Topeka man is taking years of history and putting it into one room, to educate people about the history of Topeka and trains for free. Did you know there used to be an amusement park in Topeka? Or that many trains dropped off and loaded materials through the Capitol City? If you knew these things, you might be a history buff like Bruce Beach. If you didn’t, well, you might want to meet Bruce Beach. Beach loves two things: trains and history. He got the chance to combine the two a little while back. “I wanted to build an amusement park on my model train layout,” Beach said. “I got online and found a website called, De Funked Amusement Parks and it had it broken down by every state in the union. I punched on Kansas and lo and behold it had Vinewood.”
