One or two of those green tugs are still in use by the M&C department. They hook trailers up to them and transport jenny shacks and the like around the park. BTW, those tugs run on propane, as you can see by the tanks.
that is 1 smell i really miss.... :(
Ahh memories. I was able to access the trams after they were removed and in storage a few years back (2 i think). I took a few pics with them, and even sat in the seat in the back where the worker was stationed. The tugs were removed, but it was still nice to spend a few minutes alone with the trams one last time.
I know the trams were not "time" specific, but sure wish there was one set up out front, or in the parking area. Or maybe in or near the hospitality house. After all they are part of "Silver Dollar city"..And always will be....
If it were St. lOuis, Bob Cassilly would have bought them and installed them into his St. Louis City Museum as a part of the playground.
He has other trams, airplanes, parts of buildings, cabins churches, banks, a school bus on the roof etc...indeed a great place for the trams to have retired...
