Magic On The Rails:
The Trains of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
While Imagineers dream up fanciful creations for many attractions, they decided to go with 'the real thing' when it came to the steam locomotives for the Magic Kingdom.
These 100-year-old engines were found in Mexico and brought to Florida in 1969 for extensive rebuilding, and have brought millions of smiles to visitors ever since.
The exhibit is open during museum hours.
