It's time for more scans of Knott's Berry Farm slides - these things are a mess! You're seeing them after I've worked on them for quite a while, too. Over 50 years ago, somebody cheaped out and used some mystery film, or a crummy service to develop it - I'm not entirely sure what the problem was, but the damage was done.
In spite of all the issues, I still love this wonderful photo of one of the new(ish) Calico Mine Train locomotives. So shiny! I can't tell if this particular train is not in service yet - there appears to be another track that parallels this one, to the right. Notice the Shootin' Gallery in the distance.
The photographer took about 4 photos from this same vantage point - as bad as the color is on this one, the others are even worse. Don't worry, you'll see them in a future post! I've always liked the odd look of that massive rock face, so reminiscent of the "scenic railways" that one might have found at places like Luna Park or the Venice Boardwalk. Guests are passing by on Burros!
I love that the photographer stopped to take a photo of this sign! "Lydia L. Pinkham's Pink Pills for Pale People"! I wouldn't be surprised if Pinkham's Pink Pills were a genuine product - possibly "liver pills". Folks used to take all kinds of whackadoo things for their livers! Maybe because of all the heavy drinking?
