http://mfmalk.zenfolio.com/p47324941 All, Follow the above link to my images from Knott’s Berry Farm in Southern California last week. Click on “Slideshow” at the top right of the screen. An incredible collection from the Denver & Rio Grande Western and Rio Grande Southern - many of these images are timeless; how Durango or Ridgway might have been back in the day. Others showcase the trains in today’s setting: a Theme Park with roller coasters, water rides, shows, gift shops, food courts, and palm trees. Thank you again to Jeff Taylor, Michael Ripley, and the entire train crew; making me feel very welcome and for the opportunity to capture these scenes. Colorado narrow gauge is alive in SoCal, being very well taken care of by the best of hands. Enjoy, Matthew |

Matthew, another series of remarkable images. LOVE the shot of the engine facility -with blurred aerial riders flying by overhead! A wonderfully creative shot. Stephen |

Matthew - Terrific photos. If you didn't know, you would never guess that they were taken at Knott's rather than out in Colorado. Great job! Les |

Thank you all for taking the time to look at my images and to comment on them; both publicly and privately. For those who have not been to Knott's yet, my question is "why not?". Even though a theme park, it is a time warp to the past. Stephen, see you next week at the 2-footers! Matthew |
