I consider myself darn lucky to have had the opportunity to work the attraction back in the 70s. While I still enjoy the park these days, there is something definitely missing in the simple charm that NWRR provided. It truly took you away over a 10-12 minute period. Evenings and nighttime were magical...especially during the fireworks while on the trestle. I feel old!
I thought that the Mine Train was closed the day these were taken, but you can see people reflected in the window of the 2nd photo. I assume that they are either in line or in a train car... didn't the photographer take any photos of the attraction?
In the second pic, there's another cool wanted post on the fence. I wish the photographer would've taken a close-up of that one too! Thanks for sharing these great pics, I love the detail of Rainbow Ridge too.
