25 We're going to Disneyland

Today, Dad talks about visiting Disneyland the day before it opened. He also shares how he almost took a job there. We did forget to go back to my question about the train at Disneyland. I asked him if it was a real train or if it was made specifically for the park. His answer is this: They were built new for Disneyland but I don't know who built them. The Knott's Berry Farm trains are real one from the narrow gauge train equipment haul to California from the Rio Grand Souther Railroad from Durango, CO. (Dad's friend George Sapp worked on them at Knott's for quite some time)   Intro and Outro:Sounds of Santa Fe Steam Locomotives by Stan Kistler Track 14 At Riverside, October 16 1950, 4-6-2 1369 is on No. 54

24 The Higher Ups

In the last episode, I talked about some of the characters on the railroad. In this episode, I'll talk about the characters that were the "higher ups" in the company. They aren't all bad.    Intro and Outro:Sounds of Santa Fe Steam Locomotives by Stan Kistler Track 14 At Riverside, October 16 1950, 4-6-2 1369 is on No. 54

22 The Desert Wind And My Good Friend Peter Robinson

Today, I talk about the utterly boring Union Pacific run from LA to Las Vegas. Well, I did get to meet a dragon, learn what to do with a run away train, drink Dr Peppers with Frank Sinatra Jr., and I met one of the most amazing friends I've ever had, Peter Robinson. I'd like to dedicate this episode to him.    Episode 17 Colorado Blvd. and the Rose Parade https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-589qf-1a0ad02   Intro and Outro:Sounds of Santa Fe Steam Locomotives by Stan Kistler Track 14 At Riverside, October 16 1950, 4-6-2 1369 is on No. 54
