Meanwhile, back on the Railroad…we entered the tunnel to see a diorama of the Grand Canyon (not closed for the Government Shutdown!) This is the World’s Longest handpainted diorama, or something like that, and is original to the opening of Disneyland! There are lots of Grand Canyon type animals, here, the only actual taxidermied critters […]
