Disneyland is celebrating the arrival of its first new train engine in nearly 50 years. Park creator Walt Disney was an avid train-lover, and the resort’s railroad has become symbolic of its rich history. the new steam engine (which was built in 1902 by Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia) has been christened Ward Kimbell, in honor of the legendary animator who got Walt into backyard railroading and was behind such classics as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Dumbo, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland. the engine has a red cab with red wheels, and sports a Jiminy Cricket silhouette on the headlamp, a character Kimball created for Disney’s Pinocchio. www.disneyland.com

Easy rider

Who says you need a car to explore Los Angeles? Segwow offers a much more memorable way to see the city’s many sights... on Segway tours. the ingenious self-balancing, battery-powered vehicles provide a fun and unique way to explore LA’s most popular attractions. A choice of 15 tours—some of which are at night—include Celebrity Homes, Santa Monica & Venice Beach, Hollywood Sign & Hollywood Reservoir, Los Angeles National Cemetery, Marina del Rey Harbor and Manhattan Beach by Moonlight. And while the machines top out at only a little over 10mph, that’s faster than walking, and often quicker than the traffic on LA’s notoriously gridlocked streets. www.segwow.com
