Mine Train, July 1956

I love the way the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train looked with its dark-green paint scheme. Just see how this one gleams! It was brand new, the ride debuted around the time this photo was taken. I believe that the li'l locomotives that took guests through Nature's Wonderland operated via electric motors (or rubber-band power), but they sure look like steam-driven trains.


Don't you wish that you could take one more ride through that tunnel? Bear country, Beaver Valley, the Living Desert, and especially Rainbow Caverns! I had originally hoped that I would be able to merge these two photos into a single large image, but the perspective was just too different and the tracks would never line up.
