"It's The Only Free Disney Atrraction In The World!"

I don't know if that is true or not, but it certainly brought a chuckle when I read it.

This article covers the story of the miniature steam railroad that Walt Disney used to have at his home in Los Angeles.

The Carolwood Pacific Railroad was named after the street where Disney’s home was located on. Walt’s original set-up included 795 metres of track that even crossed a 14-metre long trestle and ducked through a 27-metre long tunnel that ran underneath Mrs. Disney’s flower bed.

The railroad also had a building where the engine and rolling stock were maintained when not in use. That building, actually Disney’s workshop, was known as the Carolwood Barn. It was built by the same architect who built much of Disney Studios in Burbank.

The barn, and many items associated with the steam railroad, has now been moved to the Live Steamers Railroad Museum in Griffith Park since 1999. This certainly isn't on one of the must-see list for avid Disney fans, but maybe it should be.
