Yep, it's finally being torn down. The owner of the property has "other plans" for the land and the old Magic Mountain is going away.
For those of you that don't know, the original Magic Mountain was home to a narrow gauge railroad with X-RGS equipment including locomotive #42, caboose 0409 plus more. I spent a lot of time there in the late 60's, when it was closed, (yes, I jumped the fence) and a lot of time after it reopened as Heritage Square in 1971. Another piece of history bites the dust
