No. 5 Ward Kimball

The Disneyland Railroad's newest locomotive is now a reality! The engine is named after Ward Kimball, Disney animator and railfan. Ward had his own full scale Grizzly Flats Railroad in his backyard. The headlamp features Ward's most famous creation, Jiminy Cricket, the character Ward created and animated in Pinocchio.

Be sure to see the pictures of the Ward Kimball and Lilly Belle Dedication Ceremony.
