Unknown Southern California Amusement Park

All right, I am stumped. I thought this might have been Beverly Park, but the train does not match. And I can not at the moment think of other amusement parks in the area that match this train. The photographs are stamped on the back "Please credit James J. Hunter 5950 Carlton Way Hollywood" I looked up the location on google maps and it is currently an apartment complex. First up is the train, with the name of a famous toy train- The American Flyer.

A really cool you drive it auto ride with a neat Art Deco style of car.

A great airplane ride. I wonder what happened to these ride vehicles.

Of course the park had a Ferris Wheel.

    There was a park like this on Crenshaw somewhere around Exposition that I used to go to in the 50's as a little kid. If that's where this was taken then the hills in the background would be Baldwin Hills.

    Or is this Beverly Park Kiddyland that used to be on Beverly?(now the site of the Beverly Center?)
    Just a guess based on the plane and ferris wheel rides...

    Tom- the rides do not match to what was at Beverly Park.
