The school bus seating, the decorations along the ceiling, the way you could look from one coach into the next and the next through the windows on either side of the door.<br /><br />You can also see a subtle detail that foreshadows the eventual retirement of the passenger car set. It's obviously an uncrowded day, as every member of the family in the photo has their own seat and there doesn't seem to be anyone else in the car. They have their pick of seating and yet they are all seated on the <b>right</b> side of the car. The reason - so they can see the Park better. This is why the three car sets built after the Park opened all have open sides - two of them with sideways seating - and why the original 1955 freight cars were opened up and had sideways seating added as well.<br /><br />Loving this series!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836717368846566211noreply@blogger.com
