The train at Griffith Park & Southern Railroad travels over one mile of track, across a bridge, through a forest and the Old Western Town. You can also try our T-6 simulator ride, a fun adventure for all ages!
A combination car carried passengers in one section and baggage, mail or both. It was commonly used on branch lines. Combination cars were usually on the head-end of a train with the baggage and mail section towards the locomotive tender, to prevent security problems of people passing through the baggage or mail area, if the wante to rach the seating area. Generally the seating in a combination car was second class, and was not as nicely furnished as a regular coach on the same train. Thus, it was often used as a smoking section and became often the exclusive domain of men, as women rarely smoked in public before World War II. In certain states combination cars served those passengers, who were not allowed to travel in the main cars due to the Jim Crow laws, by which segregation was implemented against people of color or those of lower socioeconomic classes. The car was built by the Oahu Railway & Land Shops. It had a weight of 11.5 tons and a length of 42 ft 10 in (13.06 m).[9]
that said, does anyone know of any better alternatives? I prefer merging games like this, but others are cool too. ads are ok with me, and paying sometimes is ok. travel town asks for way too much in a single day.
The Travel Town Wall Activity Panel Game lets kids navigate the maze of city streets with multi-colored buttons. Children drive in their spindle cars through the various lanes and alleys of this busy little town.
Los Angeles has some wonderful beaches, and Seal beach is a prime example for a great beach not too far away from town. In my last conference visit to Long Beach I found affordable accommodation between Long Beach and Seal
Elijah is 3! It doesn't feel so long ago that I was photographing his older brother's first birthday. Can someone hit the pause button? Travel town birthdays are a lot of fun and the trains surrounding make for pretty epic backdrops. You even get to ride around the property in a mini train! Oh the simple joys of the wind in your hair and the echo of a choo choo in your ear.

We drove a bit in downtown Cape May. Diane went in a shop and I bought some Cape May peanut butter. But we were happy hanging out, walking, eating well, bird watching, and sun soaking. On the weekend we watched the Cape May Triathlon. Saturday, swimmers jumped off the ferry and swam past the cottage to the ferry landing, 3 miles. Sunday although delayed due to fog, they swam, ran and biked. Probably over 1,500 entrants. Pretty amazing. We were at the mid point.
Did any of the large trains at Travel Town, ever travel around the park? I believe today, there is only a smaller "amusement park" type of train that takes guests around a limited area of the property.
Thank you to Lou, Sue and the Major, too, for these!
