Today I present a batch of undated slides featuring the Main Street Train Station. What an entrance! First thing in the morning as the park is opening, to see the E.P. Ripley pull up, whistle blowing and steam smoking...great way to start your day at Disneyland. This is one area that has seen little change over the years. I also like the attraction posters that greet you as you go through the gates here, giving guests a glimpse of what is to come. Anybody care to date these slides? The first two images are from the same batch (although judging by the outfits, they are different visits).


This one IS actually dated: January 1960.

I BELIEVE this one is also from 1960 (same batch as the scary Stephen King girls).

Here are a few shots of the Autopia through the years, beginning with an undated shot of a little girl very happy to be behind the wheel. The 2nd slide (same batch) shows what appears to be the same little girl, who has now picked up a passenger.


This shadowy shot is from January 1960.

August 1982 shows a different car that definitely owes its styling to the Corvette.
4 & 5 are current shots of the Autopia route, including a nice tribute to the Midget Autopia, Fantasyland’s short-lived counterpart.





Might as well throw in a vintage one of the Midget Autopia from March 1959, which gives a good idea of its location near the Storybook Land area.

Compare the Adventureland gate from May 31, 1956 to the one of today. At first glance, not a huge difference, however, there is something a little more “primitive” and authentic looking about the original that today just seems a slight bit more manufactured. Regardless, this is still one of my favorite themed entrances in the park.
