KBF Transport 1950's

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.
