Since American Restoration recently restored a Popsicle train, I thought there might be some interest in seeing one with a different logo. Pictured is Detroit TV kids show host Sagebrush Shorty and his sidekick Broncho Billy Buttons on a Cocoa Marsh train. Irv Romig, who was Ricky the Clown on Detroit TV, told me that he had two Cocoa Marsh trains. One he gave away on his TV show and the other he used in the circus.
