The engine back by the coaling tower and service bay. The front seal on the hydraulic motor has a slow leak so it was decided not to use the engine until repairs are made. |

The public was out in force waiting for rides with the line fairly long most of the afternoon. Dick Clark's train with Roy Harris (in red hat) loading at the station. |

Roy watches as Don adjusts the seats for the riders. There were several park personel and volunteers that walked around with outfits with wings that represented butterflys and moths, quite impressive! |
