More Main Street, May 1960 - plus a bonus!

Here's a beautiful shot of Main Street Station, with the "Fred Gurley" locomotive at rest next to the Kalamazoo hand car. This loco was added to the Disneyland Railroad on March 28, 1958. Unlike the C.K. Holliday and the E.P. Ripley, which were brand new in 1955 (having been built at the studio), the Gurley was originally built in 1894.

And here's another nice photo looking up Main Street toward the castle. Most folks are sticking to the sidewalks (with a few exceptions, of course). If you look to the right, just past the Swift Market House on the opposite corner, it appears that the Gibson Greeting Cards store is walled up, about to turn into the Hallmark store.

And now, here's something cool that was cooked up by Chris Jepsen (from the OC Historical Blog)! He took two stereo images from Knott's Berry Farm that were posted here recently, and made an animated gif that alternates each image rapidly, creating the illusion of 3-D without having to cross your eyes or wear funny glasses. I think it works quite nicely! I've played around with this type of image, but mine just seem too "earthquakey". If I ever get some to work better, I will share them with you. Meanwhile, thanks to Chris for this example!
