Carolwood Pacific Historical Society
Carolwood Pacific Historical Society Walt Disney's Live Steam Railroads. We're the only society in
the world dedicated to preserving the personal railroad
legacy of Walt Disney. Why, you might ask? Walt
Disney happened to be one of America's greatest
railfans who, through his own initiative and personal
financial resources, was responsible for preserving real
steam railroading for generations to enjoy at the
Disneyland parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Tokyo and
Paris.

House of David Miniature Railway
The House of David miniature trains were a fixture in Benton Harbor along Britain Avenue for sixty-five years. The high shriek of the little steam whistles as the trains passing around Eden Springs Park on a one-mile track was burned into the memories of generations of visitors and neighbors. The excitement of standing in the depot as a train rumbled in was a thrill that no kid could forget.

Riverview Beach Train
When Riverview Beach Park closed in 1968, one of the local landowners, who was a lifelong visitor to the park,
offered to buy the Riverview Beach Park train. After some negotiation, the park owners took his offer and sold him
the train.
It took Bob Stanton and several friends a month to remove the track and move it and the cars 15 miles to his farm.
Bob then laid about 100 feet of the track in his pasture and put the engine and cars on it.
Bob also owns the original railroad from his other favorite park, the old Woodside Park in Phila. So he combined
the tracks and the useable cars and parts to create his own railroad. He then named it the Riverview & Woodside
Railroad (after the two amusement parks).
