Hey these are great shots of the early days at Calico Ghost Town. Walter Knott had Bud Hurlbut build and more reliable and better looking lokie after this one failed as I hear tell. As a kid who frequented this place quite a bit in the 60's & 70's, I remember seeing this one laying off to the side of the right of way one time then it was gone the next.
