Top 10 Bizarre Walt Disney Facts

8. Trains

Walt Disney was a train fanatic. His fascination began as a child, when he would watch the trains pass by near his house. His uncle, a train conductor, would blow the whistle as a greeting. Later, as an adult, Disney built a miniature steam railroad in the backyard of his L.A. home. Seeing the joy it brought his daughters, he was determined to incorporate trains into Disneyland.
