Lots of cool details here like good repros of travel decals from the era, not goofy ones like Toontown or Radiator Springs. So odd the handcar is there as opposed to at the Main Street station. I wonder why? Congrats on all the great pics up close and being on the tracks. All those train engineers and conductors just standing around... They must have been steamed.<br /><br />@SnowWhite, Dave is actually 9'7"Fifthriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480975804451839176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-44651756449985534142016-03-29T10:06:52.452-07:002016-03-29T10:06:52.452-07:00This little feature almost would make a trip to &q...This little feature almost would make a trip to "Closed-Land" worthwhile. I remember the little station before NOS, and hated having the little gem just out of reach across the track.<br /><br />I would love to see it up close again, and the trains as well, but we are not returning for several years after our last blow-out.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-24830211500571590962016-03-29T07:11:02.225-07:002016-03-29T07:11:02.225-07:00Agree with Snow White that the last photo puts the...Agree with Snow White that the last photo puts the size of the loco in perspective. And the view of the tunnel from the other side of the track is awesome! It must've been strange and exciting to walk around this area which also provided new viewing angles and close-ups. Wonderful job photographing it, Dave. Thanks for sharing it since I won't be able to get down there anytime soon.K.

I understand they switch locomotives once per week in the early AM on Tuesdays but not under steam power.elruddicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-84223117002739326072016-03-28T16:38:49.724-07:002016-03-28T16:38:49.724-07:00Since I can't get to Disneyland anytime soon t...Since I can't get to Disneyland anytime soon to see it for myself, thank you for that travelog and attention to the details.MRaymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352355678521753079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-24773974627868254092016-03-28T13:26:44.333-07:002016-03-28T13:26:44.333-07:00What a wonderful opportunity Dave.
