The Carolwood Pacific Railroad was a live steam backyard railroad, built by the American animated film producer and animator, Walt Disney (1901-1966) in the garden of the backyard of his home. Entertaining his daughters and their friends in his backyard and taking them for rides on his ½ mile (0.8 km)-long, 1:8 scale miniature railroad led Walt Disney to include the railroad which formed the backbone of his family-oriented Disneyland opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955.
