So that's the original station location, atop the current site of the RiverBlast, right?

RiverBlast is just across the tracks from this location in the picture...that depot was behind what was the old basket weaving shop...the building adjacent to the corkscrew that goes through the RiverBlast location (formerly Tom Sawyer's Landing) and into the Riverfront.

oldsdcer asked for some photos of Bush 1 visiting the park.  I have some that I scanned just for him.

The helicopter arrives (there were actually 3 of them)



Mr. and Mrs. Bush



Another of the Bushes



George 1 with Glen Campbell, Jim Stafford, Boxcar Willie



Loretta Lynn (w/Mitch Kearsey & Rick McKuen, I think, on drums & bass)



Jim Stafford in front of a cool backdrop



Gov. Ashcroft and family

Maybe Steam or someone can help me out with this one...Is this the caboose that now is part of the scenery for the Hobos?-Regardless this is from the 1970's

The Caboose that is for the Hobos is not a real caboose.  The old one rotted down and the current one is just a fake.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the story behind the 1970's women's crew photo posted by Rube? The caboose itself was a restaurant? Where was it located? etc.

No ignorance...I am trying to figure out the details myself! I notice the windmill, but the background buildings appear to be "back stage" somewhere...I dunno, I do know it is SDC-Branson staff...just no clue where it was taken!

You can barely see it, but on the sign, under "Restaurant" is a line of arrows pointing to the left... So I don't think the caboose itself was a restaurant....
