Time for another vintage series. The color is a little off (you shoulda' seen these before I got my fingers on 'em!), but I still think they're peachy keen. I get excited whenever I see shots of the Kalamazoo Handcar. Can you believe this cool little detail is still at the park? You probably won't be surprised to learn that I have a photo to prove it.
Sad to say only one of these passenger cars still remains at the park (hint: It's painted red and bears Walt's wife's name).
I probably have at least 2-3 of this same photo for each decade that the park's been open.
For the sake of brevity, I'll only share this one from 2006.
A nice overall shot of Main Street U.S.A., which includes a White Wing and a promotion for the newly launched Columbia.
See...I wasn't making it up!

ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! But...what is a white wing??
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice bunch of early photos. I do love those posters...
ReplyDeleteConnie, a "white wing" is a street sweeper, one who wears a white uniform.
Connie - Yeah, what Major said! Trinidad is the most "famous" White Wing:
