Walts Nephew | Ghost Town and Calico Railway @WaltsNephew | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Here is a look at Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town and Calico Railroad. As a predecessor to the famous Disneyland Railroad since 1952, I thought it only right to show some kind of appreciation for this railway. This compilation focuses solely on the two main steam engines on the line: D&RGW 340 and RGS 41, each Denver and Rio Grande C-19 2-8-0 Consolidation locomotives. Therefore, unfortunately, there is no footage featured here of the Galloping Goose, the lovely K-27 464 now at Huckleberry, or of Davenport (now G.A. Boeckling at the Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad). Here you are able to see the engines' progressions from colorful balloon stackers to more plainly, Rio Grande-based liveries with straight stacks (without the screen spark arrestors) from the fateful day in 1952 throughout the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and more-or-less to present day. Hope you enjoy!
