This whole page is from a fellow who has a strong interest in Walt Disney, and of course, the 1948 exhibition was part of the inspiration for what would become Disneyland. For those who have an interest in Disney, there is still more on this site. Explore and enjoy.

Just found something else (but can't find the specific thing I'm looking for--phooey!)--another site of rail images, some modern, but others of classic vintage.
