I really feel we are worse off as a society for the way we lack these trains as regular people these days in regular life.. just saying.. if I had one of these to tool around the outside of my house with I would not be so bummed that we live in a future w no jet packs yet.

ahh that's interesting.. I remember hearing somewhere that there was a lot going wrong or something..

I heard Walt was pretty depressed during the time the first Disneyland was being created. Him driving the train, that encircles the park, was one of the few things that was bringing him joy.
