From the dust cover:

Walt Disney's love for trains began at an early age. As a young boy, one of his claims to fame was that his uncle as an engineer on the Atchison, Topkea and Santa Fe Railway -- it was something to brag about, and it instilled in Walt the sense of adventure that trains could provide. As a teenager, he worked aboard the Missouri Pacific Railroad as a news butcher.

His deep affection for the rails wold insert itself into just about every aspects of the magical worlds he went on to create. From the iconic Mickey Mouse being "born" on a train ride from New York to Los Angeles, to the animated and live-action films he produced, to the steam trains that circle or operate in the Disney parks around the world, trains played, and continue to play, an important role.

All Aboard explores the wide variety of trains in Disney's history, accompanied by rare photographs from the Walt Disney Archives and heretofore unseen conceptual artwork behind the trains in the movies and theme parks. Never been exclusively trained on this fascinating topic. Fans of Disney history, rail history enthusiasts, and armchair travelers alike will be captivated by this museum-quality book.
