No location from DoDo? ;-)

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 2)

Well, theme parks and fake steamers aren't my forte... but this one is doable.

The "1863" suggests a real-life model from that year... indeed it is that of the C.P. Huntington. After some Googling... I think it is here in Burke Lake Park.

Just trying?...

Luke: All right, I'll give it a try.
Yoda: No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 2)

Wow, right on the money! I do recall the name C.P Huntington on the engine, and it is indeed at Burke Lake Park. Maybe you should expand your expertise to the fake engines as well as the real. I must admit, however, that these park rides don't do much for me either.
