Re: my Knott’s Berry Farm D&RGW/RGS pictures

Jim, you could not be more right on with your comment.

I was given a tour of the B-20 Edna business car and the Durango parlor car. I did not take a single picture inside, sometimes you have to put the camera down and experience things not through a viewfinder. The cars are gorgeous; museum quality. Late in the day we boarded the train at the depot (which is surviving Pacific Electric shelter) and rode in a coach for a lap around the park. In 2010 where else can you ride behind a D&RGW lettered C-19 steam locomotive in a full set of D&RGW lettered original passenger cars? And out your window is RGS #41, Goose #3, and a RGS shortie caboose. Time machine anyone? What is most impressive about the operation is that the management has permitted the shop crew to restore the equipment to the original D&RGW and RGS colors shedding the Hollywood appliances and gaudy paint jobs. In an amusement park no less.

Oh, and Michael? My snap shots were taken with my cell phone, I forgot my disposable camera on this day.
