Jazz Railway

[1][3] While they ran on track constructed of laminated wood and steel—defining the coasters as wooden by modern standards[4]—Jazz Railways were marketed by the Traver Engineering Company as being all steel.

[1] The name "Jazz Railway" itself was reported by Traver to be a way to distance the design from the wooden-framed roller coasters of the past.

This presaged Traver's later Giant Cyclone Safety Coasters, which utilized the same building technique as Jazz Railway, but on a grander (and more frightening) scale.

[1] The first Jazz Railway was built at Rocky Glen Park near Moosic, Pennsylvania in 1925[4] after being tested at Traver's factory.

[1] Subsequent coasters were built at (or relocated to), the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Alabama State Fairgrounds, as well as parks in Bombay, Toronto, Detroit, and New Orleans.
