This 1881 Baldwin 2-6-0 Mogul locomotive has a storied history. It's a narrow gauge locomotive which ran on the Nevada Central Railroad and was ready for the scrap heap in 1938 when the railroad closed. In the 40s it was purchased and restored by Ward Kimball, the famous Disney animator for his private railroad.
In 1992 Ward and his wife Betty donated the train to the museum.
The museum is restoring the train, which includes the tender and passenger car.
Scaled down versions of these narrow gauge trains are what run around the exterior of Disneyland to this day.
