Disney Railroads Discussion Board

Anyone know what the significance of the #41 is on the engine? After seeing the movie, it was mostly CGI but definitely a standstill prop for the background at some points.

This would be a fun set to remake for sure.

Are they still selling the Hartl Ward Kimbal locomotives? My guess is no but I just figured I’d ask!

Last month I went to Disneyland Paris and was very excited to ride the Paris Disneyland Railroad. It is a shame how devalued their railroad is though. The train only operates from 10am-5pm, even though the park is open until 11pm. They also only had one train running from 10-11:30 until they bring o...

Awesome article! It’s so nice to get all of that information. I noticed the stack similarity right away between 52 and Roy.

What do we think it would be painted if they had refurbished it?

I couldn't agree with you more. I would rather them have a train than not have a train at all. The trains themselves are still impressive. I wish I could've seen more than one engine. I was still very excited to ride it and see it go by!

It was just reported that Cedar Fair is auctioning off the 2-4-0 Jennie K locomotive. It will be interesting to see where she goes! Does Disneyland need a 6th engine?!

I read an article that WDW is ending the opening show at main streeet station and moving it to the castle. I'm sad to see the train leave from the show. I'm sure it will be nice to have the green cars back in regular service again though!
