Description

Walt Disney was a man of many passions; art, storytelling, family, and entrepreneurship. But not many people knew about his love affair with the titan of transportation: the train.

Walt Disney's Trains: A Grand Circle Tour Through His Life and Legacy reveals a part of Walt’s life that, although not widely known, is nevertheless well documented. It explores how railroading influenced Walt’s films, theme parks, and personal life, as well as how Walt, in turn, influenced the perception of railroading in America.

Including more than 200 artifacts, firsthand accounts of Walt's passion for the craft, archival videos, images of Walt and his trains, and actual model trains running throughout The Walt Disney Family Museum’s exhibit, Walt Disney's Trains highlights how Walt's interest in trains developed long before manifesting itself in his work.

FEATURING HUNDREDS OF ARTIFACTS, images of Walt with his trains, model trains from Walt’s personal collection, and more.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT: Created in collaboration with The Walt Disney Family Museum, fans of Disney will get an exclusive look at the life of one of America’s most iconic figures.

NEVER BEFORE SEEN: Many items featured in Walt Disney's Trains have been supplied by The Walt Disney Family Museum’s private archives and have never been seen in print.
