Funny, I was under the impression that the train was an actual antique, not a gas powered chain drive thing. Booo!<br /><br />Bill, what is the Official State Molybdenum Rush Ghost Town?<br /><br />JG, "Calico never changes"... wait until you read my next post! Sounds like March would be a good time to go to Calico and the Grand Canyon.<br /><br />MRaymond, I'd love to see your scans.<br /><br />K. Martinez, I love the desert, even though I have nightmares about being stranded out there.

Incredibly beautiful!<br /><br />I like the cool looking caboose in the first and last pics. I wonder what scale the mine train is.K.

If I can find some of the old family photos from the 60's and 70's, I'll send a few scans.<br />MRaymondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-9107895279038290632013-01-28T09:03:24.948-08:002013-01-28T09:03:24.948-08:00Great pictures, Major.

Calico never changes over the years.<br /><br />Knott's restorations were not museum-quality, but without him, it would be gone by now.<br /><br />I love this place. Going again in March on the way to the Grand Canyon. We will camp in the nearby campground and tour the town before heading on.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-42718774449423310092013-01-28T08:32:11.145-08:002013-01-28T08:32:11.145-08:00In case there's any confusion: Calico is the O...In case there's any confusion: Calico is the Official State Silver Rush Ghost Town, and Bodie is the Official State Gold Rush Ghost Town.

We went in December, right around Christmas, and it was rather cold then as well.<br /><br />It is interesting to see the parallels with the Calico Ghost Town at Knott's Berry Farm. The Bottle House and Mystery Shack (now gone from KBF) come to mind.<br /><br />The train uses parts from C.M. Lovsted, the company from which Disney imagineers bought parts for the Disneyland Railroad and the Mine Train. The Calico train may have once been steam though it is now powered by a gasoline engine and a chain drive. The open ore cars have shades on them now, I believe.keelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006640946874012637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-88023239619695189642013-01-28T05:57:07.299-08:002013-01-28T05:57:07.299-08:00Babushka!Babushka!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-5367530880269890492013-01-28T00:05:00.448-08:002013-01-28T00:05:00.448-08:00Major-
