He had a railroad on his home property as well, Carolwood if I'm not mistaken, and was a real railroad buff besides just in association with
Disneyland. A couple of his prime cartoon animators were also world class train buffs, with Bert Ward being paramount among them. He also had a full size railroad, with many old classic narrow gauge pieces of equipment, on his home property, fully restored and operational. Many of the railroad books in my collection (yes, I have a collection of those too) have photos by Bert, and he was good a taking them with his artists eye!
