Next is a nice image of engine 41 which was once part of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad. The engine is still a narrow guage, but significantly larger than the Disneyland and Santa Fe Railroad engines.

Knott's Berry Farm Snapshots
Two views from Knott's Berry Farm circa late 1960s. Knott's was in full swing at this time, a worthy competitor to Disneyland. One of the major lands for Knott's is Ghost Town. Two residents of Ghost Town is Handsome Brady and Whiskey Bill who hang out on a bench. The two residents love it when female visitors sit a spell with them. Note the nice signage in the background, one of which is no longer in place.

Love the photos. I have one of my mom with the old prospectors that I believe is from the late 50's or early 60's.
I always wondered about the size difference between the Disneyland and Knott's trains. My dad is a railfan and filled me in. Love those old steam locomotives.
