Knott's --Vintage photos?

After looking at wonderful blogs and postings on here dedicated to capturing vintage pics/slides of Disneyland, I was wondering if anyone has great old pics of Knott's Berry Farm. Any blogs/web sites devoted to Knott's history?

**Unrelated question....I had never been on the mine train ride at Disney. It closed before I was even born. After looking at pics of this ride, it really looks similar to the cars used in the mine train ride at Knott's. Any chance they are the same vehicle?

Thanks!!

No different vehicles. The rides operated concurrently.

I love that Marineland is listed on the map:

Take a look on ebay there is usualy people selling old postcards from knotts. Even if you dont buy them there is usualy lots of good images. Just type in something like "knotts berry farm postcard" and you will find alot of old pictures from like the 40's.
