The Mine Train is saved and will be restored by Carolwood

[Darkbeer1]

Great news, Disney has agreed to donate the old Mine Train that was used for decoration after the ride closed along the Rivers of America to the Carolwood Foundation for restoration, and then for display at Walt's Barn... Glad to see a piece of History saved, especially from a ride I loved as a kid.

That is great news. The folks at Walt's Barn are really nice. Suggest that people who want to encourage their work make a donation to them. You can do it on their home page: http://www.carolwood.org/barn.html

And if you are able to go to the barn you MIGHT meet Margaret Carey, the model for Tinker Bell. She is a volunteer there, I believe. At least I've seen her there.
