Sure at first this looks like an ordinary photo of a girl posing for a photo by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but isn't there something odd about this photo? No? Take a look at the locomotive of the train, then look at the following link:

Still don't see it? Its the lack of the light things on the train, the lack of a smokestack, as well as the flat shaped boiler front thing. Whats up with this? Anyone got some information?

A few years ago they took all the smokestacks off the trains. They have since added them back. I can't remember the exact reason, but I'm sure it's floating around here somewhere.

Isn't the train going the wrong way in that first pic?

Nah its the right way. Its right after the chain lift that goes through the earthquake. In which you come out the cave, then take a left while doing a drop, then a turn and right by the Rivers of America, and out a shaft to what I think is a block break point, which is the bridge. From there you'd dive down towards the geysars (spelling?) and through the Dinosaur skulls. The Disneyland version has this mirrored, and theres no geysars.

Edit: But its not a complete mirror, each Big Thunder is unique and different.
