Sorry to bring that up about the sweepers, but it impressed me the effort they made to keep everything pristine.
Euro Disney has some great Americans !

Like 'me all! Looking through me books, I see the "pan" stack was a feature of engines on the early Carson and Colorado. This was a narrow gauge line built by the same guys behind the Virginia and Truckee. It connected with the V&T at Mound House, Nevada, and ran 300 miles down through the Owens Valley, just east of the Sierras.
They were trying to tap into mining in the area, but the owners later said it was"300 miles too long, or 300 years too soon" .
Not much traffic on the line, and it was sold to Espee. This became the S.P. Narrow gauge.
The " pan" stack was on 2or 3 of the last V&T engines running at the very end of operation in 1950 . 26, 27, and maybe 25.
That Casey Jr. is fantastic ! Love the " Dumbo" movie, and the scenes of that little train. I like the way it takes slack, and jolts that train into motion. When this movie was made, Ward Kimball had already acquired an 1881 Baldwin narrow gauge 2-6-0, and had it running on his property. When designing the train for "Dumbo" , Walt told Kimball " make it like your locomotive, Ward, only cartoon it up a bit " .
Thus, we Have " Casey Jr." .
