A backyard railroad is a privately owned, outdoor railroad, most often in miniature, but large enough for one or several persons to ride on. One of the most famous backyard railroads was Walt Disney's Carolwood Pacific Railroad, in operation from 1950 to 1953, which inspired Disney to surround his planned Disneyland amusement park with a working, narrow gauge railroad.
