"After making a series of design compromises with his wife Lillian – namely the construction of a tunnel so that Walt’s (Disney) railroad wouldn’t disturb an area where she planned to plant a flower bed – Walt’s final design of the Carolwood Pacific Railroad (as he’d dubbed it) consisted of 2,615 feet of 7 1/4-inch gauge track with eleven switches, gradients, overpasses, a trestle, and even an elevated dirt berm.” (Delpozo, 2021)
