More Jeep Train Postcards

1. This first image shows a Jeep Train in Oceanside, California, though I was unable to confirm "Old World Shop" was located in Oceanside. It looks to be a CJ-5 with a modified windshield set up and a changed rear area.

2. This postcard showing a CJ-5 pulling a long tram is from Lincoln, New Hampshire. It looks like some kind of "Smokey Bear" tram.

3. There is supposed to be some form of jeep under this faux train-engine body. This photo was taken in Manhattan, Kansas. The postcard is available on eBay.

There is a Jeep tour train that is still in use on Middle Bass Island in Lake Erie. I saw a long time ago that it is a Diebler Trackless train, but they sometimes pull the trailers with a CJ. https://www.facebook.com/PutInBayTourTrain/

  Goerge, you are correct! The back of the postcard identifies it as such. I haven’t had a chance to correct this. Thanks!
