Summary
In this epsiode of Matt and Nate discover one of the shortest lived, but no less important attractions in the history of Disneyland. If the Disneyland Railroad represents the past of rail travel, then Tomorrowland should provide the future of rail travel; and so in 1957 Disneyland debuted The Viewliner, the fastest miniature train in the world. We discuss how this attraction served as the basis for the Monorail.
