ASK DAVE
YOUR QUESTION
When Walt Disney's house was sold, the railroad and all the associated buildings and tracks were removed. What became of them and who has the trains he had built to run on them?
- Richard, 63, Baltimore, MD
DAVE'S ANSWER
The tracks were taken out many years ago and donated to the Live Steamers group at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. After Lillian Disney's death in 1997, the barn inside of which Walt operated the train was also moved to Griffith Park, where it is maintained with exhibits and open the third Sunday of every month.
