I learn something new each time I watch your videos. I didn't realize that both trains went around the park, and only had one stop each. Keep the videos coming.
So Engine No.1 was the Fronteirland train and Engine No.2 was the Main Street train? Interesting that a lot of what Disneyland's Fronteirland was than, we tried to make Paris Disneyland's Thunder Mesa more of the same. We have the Rose's Blacksmith, Golden HorseShoe, petting farm at the Circle D Ranch, Cowboy Cookout, Mercantile, Pueblo Trading Shop, shooting gallery etc... Herb Ryman's actual 1955 Disneyland concept art work was used in developing the enterance to Thunder Mesa.
If my memory is correct, the original train was bought by an animator named WARD. He died recently and the train is still there. The grizzly flats railroad is what he called it.
That explains the dual tracks @ Main Street (where the hand car is parked today) and the unused space where the bypass track was in Frontierland. I wonder if the bypass was a straight main line with the station spur off the switches or vice versa...
This is great as it shows the Diamond Horshoe was not mustard color as today, but a white to match the mansion and Mark Twain. Now I remember not being able to get off if you were on one train or another which atually makes sense back then. A Gun shop back then, that's where i got my real wood and metal Davy Crockett Rifle.
Back in those days, people could stand. Now we have 1/3 of the people obese, some morbidly so, and riding around in power scooters. Back in those days, people showed respect to their fellow man by dressing appropriately, and saying, "Please" and "Thank you". Now we have people in tank tops, shirt tails hanging out, and tattoos galore, many showing off their hideous bodies. Walt would be sad to see his America today.
A lazy person like me wouldn't have done well at DL back then. Couldn't use the train to get around the park? Had to stand up during the entire train ride?

The mansion was built in 1963

Oh for the days of the pack mules and stage coaches!
Every decade I went to Disneyland with a different wife
A lot of different memories

Shocker...
Yeah, because we're not stuck in a bigoted homophobic, sexist, and racist era. Oh yeah. Walt would be proud.
