Where Were You In August 1981? (Part 2)

First up is a nice you are there photograph of two guests on the Disneyland Railroad. In the background is the entrance.

Next up is a nice shot of Chip in Frontierland standing in front of the Pendleton exhibit. Based upon what I can read on the Magic Kingdom tickets being worn by the two ladies, the day is August 2, 1981 which was a Sunday with a high of 81 degrees. The park opened at 9 AM and closed at 12 AM.

Do they still have RR cars in which the seats are perpendicular to the track?

I think the 1st picture is flipped. Or else the ladies are in rear-facing seats.

A busy time of the year to be there too.

Thanks...I have flipped the photograph to the correct orientation.

@Major, yes, at least one train has perpendicular seating. I was unhappy to get to ride that one last trip. Sigh.

I liked Frontierland better when these shops were real stores. If you go in today, all you will find are plush toys and junk. Back then, you could get a real wool shirt, like Daniel Boone...
