Hundreds of color and b&w photographs, many of them from private collections and previously unpublished, illustrate how one man's love of railroading shaped our expectations of family entertainment today. The author weaves interview with Mrs. Walt Disney, animators Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston, and a host of other Disney employees and acquaintances into a narrative of how Disney's history with trains evolved from his early life into the Magic Kingdoms and their authentic steam-powered trains.
