Now arriving, bound for...

I want a ticket to Big Thunder, please. Another park reference inside the park itself and a bit of foreshadowing at the same time, the timetable posted in the Frontierland train station lists not only trains to Tuscon, Santa Fe, San Francisco, and Red Bluff but also Big Thunder. With the run away trains just around the corner it is a rather fitting destination.

Of other interest - Disney has ties to the city of Red Bluff, CA and the St. Elizabeth Hospital where Disney legend Al Dempster helped to create a shrine located at the hospital at the request of Walt himself. And of course for those of you that are familiar with the railroading side of things, the Santa Fe Railway was an early sponsor of the (then) Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad.
