Disney Animator Ward Kimball Had His Very Own Life Size Trains

Описание: Join Audrey and me on a lively and unexpected visit to the Southern California Railway Museum during their annual BBQ Cookoff event! While the museum is usually free, this day brought crowds, entry fees, and some exhibit closures — but it also delivered some unforgettable highlights.

We got to see two legendary locomotives once owned by Disney animator and rail enthusiast Ward Kimball — the charming Cloe and the historic Emma Nevada, which is currently undergoing restoration. (Originally built in 1881 by Baldwin Locomotive Works, the Emma Nevada once ran on the Nevada Central Railroad and later became a part of Kimball's private Grizzly Flats Railroad.)

One of the best surprises of the day was an impromptu guided tour aboard a vintage Amtrak passenger car, thanks to a friendly conductor. We wrapped it all up with a ride on the iconic Red Car #717, an authentic Pacific Electric streetcar that once ran through Los Angeles.

If you’re into trains, history, or just quirky Southern California day trips, this one’s for you!
