I even like the TTA (Tomorrowland Transit Authority)!
Excellent video there.
The monorails are quite something in their own right, as well as the TTA (or WEDway PeopleMover for the oldies out there).
Both the Monorail and PeopleMover would have been an integral part of Walt's City of EPCOT, allowing residents to commute to and from work with such ease.
I had heard that the WDW engines run on propane is that true?
According to a source I found they run on "Distillate #2 low-sulfur reformulated"
I went to Disneyland Paris in 1992 but they don't have a train there, only BTRR
They do have a train in Paris. There are four in the fleet - the George Washington, C.K. Holiday, W.F. Cody and Eureka.
Here's a vid from Main Street to Fantasyland..

For those interested on the trains in the rest of the Disney Empire, they also have a train in Tokyo Disneyland however it only runs in Westernland.

Hong Kong Disneyland also has two trains, the Walter E. Disney and the Roy. O. Disney.
Here's the Walter E. going over the 'it's a small world' bridge. According to the comments there's a diesel engine in the tender providing the power here.

Its yet to be announced if Shanghai Disneyland will have a train when it opens in '16 but its looking like it will be the first Magic Kingdom style park to be without one.
If memory serves me Ward Kimball was one of disney's seven key animators, and the model for Jimny Cricket.
Yes, and after his passing in '02, they named the newest locomotive after him, and Jiminy Cricket appears in the trains lantern.
Walt's small live steam train was on his home property, some of his workers helped build it as well as the engine (named the Lily Belle) The layout was named The Carolwood Pacific after his wife
Here's a great article about the Carolwood Pacific..
