Have you been on The Disneyland Railroad's Lilly Belle?

I went about a week ago its a very nice little car. The Lilly Belle used to be part of the old set of yellow passenger cars. The cars were taken from Disneyland when Walt thought you couldn't see th Grand Canyon Diorama too well when you were in those cars. But the end car, Grand Canyon was saved and made into the parlor car Lilly Belle named after Walts wife Lillian.

A good portion of it is in the Grizzly Flats Enginehouse (AKA Carbarn 6) at Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris. This includes the "Emma Nevada", "Chloe" and the C&C combine. Ward was a member for many years.
