Right off the train


I'll admit it - I still play with trains (both as a day job as a track engineer and as a diesel locomotive mechanic at the Minnesota Transportation Museum) so I really enjoy the railroad related details around the parks and appreciate Walt's love of trains. Here we are in the Baker's Field Bakery looking at a bill of lading from the Western Pacific, looks like your coffee is from Costa Rica and Guatemala today. Take a look around you - there are old photos, timetables, maps, and more handing on the walls. You are inside a replica of the famed California Zephyr train and surrounded by railroad memorabilia - a nice way to enjoy a midday break if you ask me!
