The street sweeper of Main Street who added the wonderful streetmosphere character to Disneyland long before such characters were added to Walt Disney World. Trinidad's main job was to sweep up behind the horse drawn trolley, but he also interacted with guests. This was once a common sight at towns during the turn of the century. I love the blue uniforms on the Disneyland band although they look like police more than a band. I can see why they switched to the white and red uniforms. Slide is dated July 1955.
It's not clear that this is Trinidad Ruiz--there were other janitorial employees, after all. Notice the bandstand in the Root Beer Garden behind the band, indicating that the photo is looking northwest. These are great images--thanks again!
