New Art “Arriving at Calico Depot”

Locomotive No. 340, the "Green River" arrives at the Calico Depot after completing a triparound the heart of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Originally No. 400, this 1881 Baldwin-built C-19 Class Consolidation originally worked on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado and New Mexico. It was one of two locomotives purchased by Walter Knott for operational use on what would become the Ghost Town & Calico Railroad, which opened in 1952. 70 years since its opening, this railroad remains one of the park's signature attractions.
