Geezil, out of curiosity, does "Cartoon Junction" have any titles for the show? Or is it just cartoons?

Well, if this is what you meant ... there's a low-budget opening and closing sequence for each half-hour in the package, with the title at the start and the packagers' names at the end. Both are superimposed over an animated sequence of a steam-powered train in motion, which itself looks for all the world like it was lifted from a vintage cartoon that I cannot otherwise identify. On the soundtrack is an instrumental version of "California, Here I Come."

And speaking of that, let me throw the challenge out to anyone else who has seen "Cartoon Junction": Can you ... (dramatic pause) ... name that source?

The opening for "Cartoon Junction" is the redrawn version of "Porky's Railroad" with the theme song from that cartoon, "Calfornia Here I Come".
