I cringe every time I drive by here now. So sad this is all gone. Neat video - thanks for sharing!

MickeyBPhotograpI remember when the train ride was in a dog bone configuration with one end going around a duck pond with a small island for the ducks to live in safety at one point the tracks would parallel each other and I remember on a couple of occasions the two trains one steam and one diesel would pass each other very fond memories

I do remember that. I’m thinking it was removed in the 50s.
