Has anyone ever noticed the dog house with the name Indiana while riding the train?

According to our tour guide (Welcome to Disneyland), it is a nod to Indiana Jones who was named after their family dog.

I have never seen this either. Where is it during the train ride?

According to hiddenmickeys.com

....When you're riding the Disneyland railroad, pushing beyond the river in what could be called Frontierland, just before you head through the tunnel, as you pass the old Big Thunder Ranch/Festival of Fools area, you'll notice a purely decorative loading platform/station alongside the track. In this grouping of props, you'll see a little dog house, with the name "Indiana" painted on it. I believe that this is an allusion to Indiana Jones' childhood pet, who's mentioned in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" by Sean Connery's character, Dr. Henry Jones. In the appropriate scene, Connery's character is giving Indy trouble about his nickname...something like, "We named the dog Indiana!"

Our guides for the Discover the Magic Tour also pointed this out to us. He also told us to watch for the Indian Chief and a whole lot of luggages when we were on the train.
