Own a Piece of Walt Disney’s Backyard Railroad-
The Carolwood Pacific!
It's no secret that Walt Disney loved trains! From 1950 to 1953 Walt Disney operated a miniature live-steam train on the property of his home on Carolwood Drive near Beverly Hills. He called his railroad the Carolwood Pacific, and named its engine Lilly Belle in honor of his wife Lillian. Disney’s family, celebrities and neighborhood children alike road the rails with Walt on the track that crisscrossed his backyard and circled his house. But after only a few short years, Walt turned his attention to a larger railroad- the one that would circle Disneyland- and the Carolwood Pacific made its last run in 1953. In 1968 Lillian Disney donated the aluminum track to the Los Angeles Live Steamers organization for use at their Griffith Park layout. There it formed "the Disney loop" until the 1990’s when it was replaced with steel rail. With assistance from Michael Broggie (whose father helped build Walt’s backyard railroad), Carolwood Pacific Historical Society member Terry S. Lynn purchased a number of sections of the Walt Disney track from L.A. Live Steamers. Here I'm pleased to offer an approximately 1.5" section of Walt Disney's track, mounted to a discriptive card. A very special display piece for any Disney or train enthusiast. Makes a great Disney gift! Included is the Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity Certificate.

A 13" section of Carolwood Pacific track sold on our website for nearly $4,000.00! This is a great opportunity to own a piece of Walt Disney's railroad legacy for a fraction of the price!

and Phil Sears Collectibles has sold authentic, high quality Disney Studio and Disney Theme Park memorabilia for over 20 years!
Please note the actual piece you receive may vary in appearance from the piece shown here due to wear and weathering, but will be the same size and mounted to the same card. Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity!
