We Can't Forget Ward Kimball

Ward Kimball was by far one of the best contributors and creators of animation in Disney History. He was certainly one of Walt's closest railroading pals who found out early on that the way to get close to the boss was to talk about trains. Many people don't know Ward had a giant full sized Engine and some 600 foot long track in his backyard. He is also an avid collector of trains and as you'll see in this vintage video he's one unique fellow. Ward says he was a marked baby because when his mother was giving birth to him she looked out the window and saw a big train go by. If you like this video check out the additional parts Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7
