Knotts Tours

I took the tour this past Saturday. At 4:30 I ended up as the only person taking the tour. George said that during the 3:00 tour he had six people for whom he explained the workings of the steam engine, etc. George through he recognized me and after introducing each other we confirmed that. So I got a personalized tour.
George said that they had had several charters of Parlor car Durango. He named one for a birthday, one for a wedding, and one other -- all of these done by or for railfans.
The tour is great! You get inside the engine/car shop and then tour the parlor car Durango and the business car Edna.
I'm planning to sign up for the Railroad Enthusiasts Days this coming Janaury. For information see the link below.
I was at the park because the company that I work for had its annual picnic at the Knott's facility for such things across the street. Then at 3:00 o'clock that was done and we got our tickets to get into the park. I made a beeline to the train ride and then found the Calico Junction Train Shop a few doors away to get the ticket for the tour. The train shop has some various items for either the railfan or the youth (railfans to be) interested in trains.
