3 great 1950's postcards from Knotts Berry Farm. More of my favorite transportation postcards. The text that I have noted is printed on the back of the postcards.KNOTT'S BERRY FARM - Buena Park, Calif - Showing old time locomotive train, which encircles Farm. Wide eyed tourists, by the thousands, throng here daily.
THE GHOST TOWN and CALICO RAILROAD MEETING THE STAGE COACH --- (The following script is also printed on the back) ...
"As an extra treat during our memorable visit in Ghost Town, we enjoyed a ride on the famous old narrow-gauge Train, formerly noted as the Denver Rio Grande. Talking about excitement - during the trip two hold-up men boarded the train and nearly scared the wits out of the passengers. We also rode in an authentic Stage Coach through the shady grounds surrounding Ghost Town".THE CABLE CARS - Knott's Berry Farm, Ghost Town, Calif. - Here the visitors can once again ride the famous San Francisco Cable Cars through the parking lots of Knott's Berry Farm.
Editor: Yippee, cable cars through the parking lot.
Scenario:
SON: Look Dad, a 1955 Chevy.
DAD: No Son that's a 1954 Plymouth Station Wagon.
Just like the one we own. Only ours is green!
SON: WOW DAD! Your the greatest!
DAD: (big smile :-) ----- (1950's Folks!)
For those of you who don't know, Knotts did not charge admission to the Farm at this time. So a ride through the parking lot was pretty easy to deal with.
