Disneyland – a steel-and-concrete Never-Never Land for youngsters – has come to life at Anaheim, Calif. It’s Walt Disney’s fantastic kingdom dropped out of a cloud onto 160 acres. There your child can drive the car of the future, ride in a Mississippi stern-wheeler or romp through a medieval castle. If he wants a glimpse of Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Frontierland or Main Street, U.S.A.. there are two re-creations of Old West passenger and freight trains – part of the Santa Fe and Disneyland R.R. – to carry him to the various sights of Disney’s real-life dream world.
Old-west railroad, five-eighths original size, takes passengers on the 1 1/4-mile ride around Disneyland. The Santa Fe and Disneyland R.R. consists of a passenger train (four coaches, observation car, baggage-mail car) and a freight train, each able to carry 200 passengers. The locomotives at eft, shown being polished up before opening day, pull them. The tender above, four stockcars and a caboose make up the freight train.
