Disneyland Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Disneyland Railroad (DRR), formerly known as the Santa Fe & Disneyland
Railroad, is a 3-foot (914 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railroad and attraction in the
Disneyland Railroad
Disneyland theme park of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, in the
United States. Its route is 1.2 miles (1.9 km) long and encircles the majority of the
park, with train stations in four different park areas. The rail line, which was
constructed by WED Enterprises, operates with two steam locomotives built by
WED and three historic steam locomotives originally built by Baldwin Locomotive
Works. The ride takes roughly 18 minutes to complete a round trip on its main line
when three trains are running and 20 minutes when four trains are running. On
average, three trains are in operation, but anywhere from two to four trains could be
in use.

The attraction originated as a concept created by Walt Disney, who drew inspiration
from the ridable miniature Carolwood Pacific Railroad built in his backyard. The
Disneyland Railroad first opened to the public at Disneyland's grand opening on
July 17, 1955. Since that time, multiple alterations have been made to its route
including the addition of two large dioramas in the late 1950s and mid-1960s.
Several changes have also been made to its rolling stock, including the conversion
of one of its train cars into a parlor car in the mid-1970s, and the switch from diesel
oil to biodiesel to fuel its locomotives in the late 2000s.

The railroad has been consistently billed as one of Disneyland's top attractions,
requiring a C ticket to ride when A, B, and C tickets were introduced in 1955, a D The attraction poster for the DRR
ticket to ride when those were introduced in 1956, and an E ticket to ride when those

system was introduced in 1982. With an estimated 6.6 million passengers each year, Coordinates 33.8099108N

By 1948, Walt Disney's interest in model Sponsor Atchison, Topeka and

Ollie Johnston. In 1949, after purchasing 5 Closed captioning available
acres (2.0 ha) of vacant land in the Holmby
Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, he started construction on a new residence for himself and
his family, and on the elaborate 714 in (184 mm) gauge ridable miniature Carolwood Pacific

Railroad behind it.[9][10] The railroad featured a set of freight cars pulled by the Lilly Belle, a
served as the basis for the 1:8-scale
1:8-scale live steam locomotive named after Disney's wife Lillian and built by the Walt Disney
design of Walt Disney's Lilly Belle
locomotive, and was later used as the
Studios' machine shop team led by Roger E. Broggie.[11][12] The locomotive's design, chosen
basis for the 5:8-scale design of the
by Walt Disney after seeing a smaller locomotive model with the same design at the home of
DRR's first two locomotives. rail historian Gerald M. Best, was based directly on copies of the blueprints for the Central
Pacific No. 173, a steam locomotive rebuilt by the Central Pacific Railroad in 1872.[11] The
Lilly Belle first ran on the Carolwood Pacific Railroad on May 7, 1950.[13] Walt Disney's
backyard railroad attracted visitors interested in riding his miniature steam train and on weekends, when the railroad was operating, he
allowed them to do so, even allowing some to become "guest engineers" and drive the train.[14] In early 1953, after a visitor drove the
Lilly Belle too fast along a curve, causing it to derail and injure a five-year-old girl, Walt Disney, fearing the possibility of future
accidents, closed down the Carolwood Pacific Railroad and placed the locomotive in storage.[15][16]

Prior to the incident that closed his railroad, Walt Disney consulted with Roger Broggie about the concept of including his ridable
miniature train in a potential tour of Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, north of Downtown Los Angeles.[17] Broggie, believing that
there would be limited visitor capacity for the attraction, recommended to Disney that he make the train bigger in scale.[17] The idea of
a studio tour was eventually replaced by the idea of an amusement park named Disneyland across the street from the studio, and in one
of its first design concepts at that proposed location, a miniature steam train ride was included, as well as a larger, narrow-gauge steam
railroad attraction.[17] During this time, Disney proposed that the narrow-gauge Crystal Springs & Southwestern Railroad, which the
nearby Travel Town Museum in Griffith Park planned to build, be extended to run through Disneyland.[17] Planned construction of the
Ventura Freeway across land between the two sites, and rejection by the Burbank City Council of a new amusement park in their city,
led Disney to look for a different location to build the park and its narrow-gauge railroad.[17]

Planning and construction

By 1953, 139 acres (56 ha) of orchard land in Anaheim in Orange Disneyland Railroad
County, southeast of Downtown Los Angeles, were chosen as the
Roundhouse
location for the planned Disneyland park and on August 8, Walt (open to public during certain runDisney events)
Disney drew the triangular route for the future Disneyland Railroad Mickey's Toontown
(DDR) on the park's site plan.[18] After financing for Disneyland was
secured and all of the parcels of land at the Anaheim site were
purchased, construction of the park and its railroad began in August
1954.[19] In order to cut costs, a sponsorship deal was arranged with
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) and when it Monorail transfer
(via short walk inside park)
was finalized on March 29, 1955, the DRR was officially named Tomorrowland
Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad.[20] The DRR was known by that New Orleans Square
name until September 30, 1974, when the AT&SF Railway's Horse-drawn streetcar transfer
(via short walk inside park)
sponsorship ended.[20] Main Street, U.S.A.
Bus transfer
Prior to the start of construction of the DRR, in the hope of saving (via short walk outside park)
money by buying already-existing trains for the attraction, Walt
Disney tried to buy a set of 19 in (483 mm) gauge ridable miniature locomotives from William "Billy" Jones, but after Jones declined
his offer, Disney decided that he wanted the railroad's rolling stock to be bigger and made from scratch.[21] For this task, Disney again
turned to Roger Broggie, who was confident that he and the Walt Disney Studios' machine shop team could use the design for Disney's
1:8-scale miniature Lilly Belle locomotive and enlarge it to build the DRR's locomotives.[21] The exact size of the rolling stock for the
new railroad was determined after Disney saw a set of narrow-gauge Oahu Railway and Land Company passenger cars that had
recently arrived at the Travel Town Museum near Walt Disney Studios, whose dimensions Disney found to be favorable.[21][22] The
scale of the design for the DRR's passenger cars, based on the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge passenger cars at the Travel Town
Museum, was nominally 5:8-scale when compared to the size of 4 ft 812 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge rolling stock.[21] The same
scale was also chosen for the steam locomotives planned for the DRR, and when its locomotives and passenger cars were completed
and paired with its 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge track, the railroad had nearly identical proportions to those of a conventional standard
gauge railroad.[10][23]

Through WED Enterprises, a legally separate entity from Walt Disney Productions, Walt Disney retained personal ownership of the
DRR and financed the creation of two trains to run on it in time for Disneyland's opening day.[24] The names of both trains contained
the word Retlaw, which is Walter spelled backwards.[25] The first train, referred to by Disneyland employees as Retlaw 1, would be
pulled by the No. 2 locomotive, which was given a turn-of-the-20th century appearance with a straight smokestack (typical of coal-
burning locomotives), a circular headlamp, and a small cowcatcher.[26][27] The No. 2 locomotive would pull six 1890s-style passenger
cars designed by Bob Gurr, consisting of a combine car, four coaches, and an observation coach.[24][28] The second train, referred to2/14

07/08/2017 Disneyland Railroad - Wikipedia

cars designed by Bob Gurr, consisting of a combine car, four coaches, and an observation coach.[24][28] The second train, referred to
by Disneyland employees as Retlaw 2, would be pulled by the No. 1 locomotive, which was given a late-19th century appearance with
a spark-arresting diamond smokestack (typical of wood-burning locomotives), a rectangular headlamp, and a large cowcatcher.[26][27]
The No. 1 locomotive would pull six freight cars consisting of three cattle cars, two gondolas, and a caboose.[28] Walt Disney Studios
built the train cars and most of the parts for the locomotives; Dixon Boiler Works built the locomotive boilers, and Wilmington Iron
Works built the locomotive frames.[26] Both locomotives were designed to run on diesel oil to generate steam.[29] Final assembly of
the locomotives and their tenders took place at the Disneyland site in the DRR's new roundhouse, which was built in one week by a
construction crew directed by Park Construction Administrator Joe Fowler, a former US Navy rear admiral.[30] The two original DRR
trains cost over $240,000 to build, with the two locomotives costing over $40,000 each.[30][31]

Before the opening of Disneyland, a station in the Main Street, U.S.A. section and a station in
the Frontierland section were built for the DRR.[28][32] Main Street, U.S.A. Station, an
example of Second Empire-style architecture, was built at the entrance to Disneyland using an
original design that incorporated forced perspective elements on its upper levels to make it
appear taller.[33][34] Frontierland Station was built based on the design of the depot building
located on the Grizzly Flats Railroad, a full-size 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge railroad owned
by Disney animator Ward Kimball in his backyard.[23][35] Besides the depot building, the
DRR's functioning water tower was also built at Frontierland Station.[35][36]
A set of Oahu Railway and Land
Railroad-building expert Earl Vilmer created the track layout and operations for the DRR.[30]

designed the operations of the DRR in such a way that each of its two trains would be assigned
to a single station on the rail line, making only complete round trips possible.[28][37] The
Retlaw 1 passenger train pulled by the No. 2 locomotive only serviced Main Street, U.S.A.
Station while the Retlaw 2 freight train pulled by the No. 1 locomotive only serviced Frontierland Station, and with sidings at both
stations, each train would operate simultaneously and continue down the rail line even if the other train was stopped at its
station.[28][37] The first test run of the DRR's trains along the full length of its route occurred on July 10, 1955, one week before
Disneyland's opening.[38][39] The steam trains of the DRR were the first of Disneyland's attractions to become operational.[40]

On July 17, 1955, Disneyland and the Disneyland Railroad opened, and the day began with Walt Disney driving the DRR's No. 2
locomotive and its passenger train into Main Street, U.S.A. Station with California Governor Goodwin J. Knight and AT&SF Railway
President Fred G. Gurley riding in the locomotive's cab.[41][42] They were greeted at the station's platform by the park opening
ceremony's host Art Linkletter, actor Ronald Reagan, and several television camera crews broadcasting the festivities
nationwide.[41][42] After exiting the locomotive, Linkletter briefly interviewed Disney, Knight, and Gurley before they walked towards
the town square in the Main Street, U.S.A. section where Disney officially dedicated Disneyland.[43] The DRR eventually became one
of the most popular steam-powered railroads in the world with an estimated 6.6 million passengers each year.[44]

Additions in the late 1950s

Shortly after the Disneyland Railroad opened, A, B, and C tickets were introduced in
Disneyland for admission to its rides, and C tickets, the highest-ranked tickets, were required
to ride the DRR.[45] These tickets were joined by the higher-ranked D ticket in 1956, and D
tickets from that point forward were needed to gain access to the DRR.[45]

One of the first additions to the DRR occurred in March 1956 when new covered shelters were
built on each end of Frontierland Station's depot building.[46] The shelters were added after the
DRR's track on the western edge of its route, and the depot building standing next to it, were
moved outwards.[46]

Also during 1956, the Fantasyland Depot, a new station with a Medieval theme and consisting The DRR's main line encircles the park.
of a covered platform with no station building, was created for the DRR in the Fantasyland
section.[47] By the time this new station was added, the DRR's system of having one train
assigned to a single station and using sidings to pass trains stopped at stations was abandoned and replaced by the current system
where each train stops at every station along the railroad's route.[48][49] Fantasyland Depot was removed by July 1966 when the It's a
Small World attraction, originally built for the 1964 New York World's Fair, was installed.[50]

By 1957, the DRR was becoming overwhelmed by ever-increasing crowds; Disney determined that a third train was needed.[51]
Instead of having another locomotive built from scratch to pull the train, Disney believed that costs could be saved by purchasing and
restoring an already-existing narrow-gauge steam locomotive, and the job of finding one was given to Roger Broggie.[52] With the
assistance of Gerald Best, a suitable locomotive was found in Louisiana, which had been built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1894,
had previously been used as a switcher at a sugar cane mill in Louisiana owned by the Godchaux Sugar Company, and was initially
used by the Lafourche, Raceland & Longport Railway in Louisiana.[52] After its purchase, the locomotive was delivered to the Walt
Disney Studios' machine shop where restoration work began, which included installing a new boiler built by Dixon Boiler Works and
having its firebox reconfigured to burn diesel oil for fuel to generate steam.[53] This locomotive became the DRR's No. 3 locomotive

and it went into service on March 28, 1958,

and it went into service on March 28, 1958, at a cost after restoration of more than $37,000.[53][54] Joining the No. 3 locomotive when
it went into service were five new open-air Narragansett-style excursion cars with front-facing bench seating collectively referred to by
Disneyland employees as the Excursion Train, which was designed by Bob Gurr and built at Walt Disney Studios.[55]

On March 31, 1958, the No. 3 locomotive participated in the inauguration ceremony for the DRR's Grand Canyon Diorama, which
features a foreground with several lifelike animals and a background painted by artist Delmer J. Yoakum on a single piece of seamless
canvas measuring 306 feet (93.3 m) long by 34 feet (10.4 m) high.[54][56] Located inside a tunnel on the DRR's route, the diorama was
claimed by Disneyland to be the longest in the world and during its inauguration, it was blessed by Chief Nevangnewa, a 96-year-old
Hopi chief.[51][54] The diorama cost over $367,000 and took 80,000 labor hours to construct.[54]

The addition of the Grand Canyon Diorama in 1958 prompted changes to the Retlaw 2 freight train pulled by the DRR's No. 1
locomotive, which involved adding side-facing bench seating pointed towards Disneyland and red-and-white striped awnings on all of
the cattle cars and gondolas.[55] The walls on the cattle cars facing the park were also removed to allow for better views of the
diorama.[55] That same year, a third gondola with the same modifications as the other gondolas was added, and a fourth gondola with
the same attributes was added in 1959.[55] This brought the total number of freight cars in the train set, now referred to by Disneyland
employees as Holiday Red, to eight.[55] Prior to these modifications, the cattle cars and gondolas of this train set had no seating,
requiring passengers to stand for the duration of the ride.[57] Despite safety concerns voiced by Ward Kimball related to the lack of
seats on these train cars, Walt Disney, for the purpose of authenticity, had insisted that there be no seats on them; he wanted the
passengers to feel like cattle on an actual cattle train.[57]

In 1958, a new station in the Tomorrowland section was built for the DRR.[50] Tomorrowland Station, consisting of a covered platform
with no station building, was constructed in April 1958 with a futuristic theme, which was updated in 1998 as part of a redevelopment
of the Tomorrowland section.[50]

Around the same time that the No. 3 locomotive was placed into service in 1958, Roger Broggie decided that a fourth locomotive was
needed for the DRR.[58] After Walt Disney concurred, Broggie once again began searching for a narrow-gauge steam locomotive to
purchase and restore.[58] Broggie eventually found an advertisement in a rail magazine offering a suitable locomotive for sale in New
Jersey and after contacting the seller, Broggie passed on the information to Gerald Best to research the locomotive.[59] Best was able to
determine that the locomotive had been built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925, that it had previously been used to pull tourist
trains on the Pine Creek Railroad in New Jersey, and that it had been initially used by the Raritan River Sand Company in New
Jersey.[59] After its purchase, the locomotive was delivered to the Walt Disney Studios' machine shop where restoration work began,
which included installing a new boiler built by Dixon Boiler Works and adding a new tender built by Fleming Metal Fabricators
designed to hold diesel fuel.[60][61] This locomotive became the DRR's No. 4 locomotive and it went into service on July 25, 1959, at a
cost after restoration of more than $57,000.[60] 1959 was also the year in which E tickets arrived, and the attractions deemed to be the
best in the park required them, including the DRR.[45]

Changes since 1960

To have sufficient space for the planned New Orleans Square section, the Disneyland Railroad's track
on the western edge of its route was expanded outwards again in 1962, Frontierland Station's depot
building in that same vicinity was moved across the DRR's track, and a covered platform with no
station building was built on the opposite side to serve as the new Frontierland Station.[46][62]
Although the station was no longer in the Frontierland section, its name was not changed to New
Orleans Square Station until September 1996.[63]

By 1965, the six passenger cars of the DRR's Retlaw 1 train, due to their slow passenger loading and
unloading times, began to be phased out of service.[27] In July 1974, the Retlaw 1 passenger cars were
retired and stored in the DRR's roundhouse, except for the Grand Canyon observation coach, which
was converted into a parlor car and renamed Lilly Belle after Walt Disney's wife Lillian.[27][64] The
Lilly Belle was given a new exterior paint scheme and a new interior, which included varnished
mahogany paneling, velour curtains and seats, a floral-patterned wool rug, and Disney family pictures
framed and hung on the walls.[64] The first official passenger to come aboard the Lilly Belle after its
The interior of the DRR's Lilly conversion into a parlor car in September 1975 was Japanese Emperor Hirohito and since then, it can
Belle parlor car be regularly seen coupled on the ends of the DRR's trains.[64][65] In 1996, rail collector Bill Norred
acquired the five other Retlaw 1 passenger cars.[27] Norred died two years later, and in 1999 his family
sold the four coaches of the former Retlaw 1 passenger train to Rob Rossi, owner of the Pacific Coast
Railroad located within Santa Margarita Ranch in Santa Margarita, California, leaving only the Retlaw 1 combine car in the Norred
family's possession.[66][67] On July 10, 2010, the Norred family sold the Retlaw 1 combine car to the Carolwood Foundation, which
restored it and put it on display next to Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn within the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum
complex in Los Angeles' Griffith Park.[13][68]

In 1966, a five-gondola train set with green-and-white-striped awnings and a five-gondola train set with blue-and-white-striped
awnings, referred to by Disneyland employees as Holiday Green and Holiday Blue respectively, were added to the DRR's rolling
stock.[57] Both train sets had side-facing bench seating like the Holiday Red freight train.[57] By the time that the new Holiday Green
and Holiday Blue trains sets were introduced in 1966, the DRR's original roundhouse, located on the end of a spur line connected to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Railroad 4/14
07/08/2017 Disneyland Railroad - Wikipedia

the main line near the Rivers of America in the Frontierland section, had been replaced by a larger roundhouse, located on the end of a
new spur line connected to the main line in the Tomorrowland section.[69][70] The new roundhouse, where the DRR's locomotives and
train cars are stored and maintained, was also built to house the storage and maintenance facility for the Disneyland Monorail.[70]

The DRR's Primeval World Diorama was put on display later in 1966, adjacent to the Grand Canyon Diorama.[71] One year prior, the
DRR's track on the eastern edge of its route had been expanded outwards to accommodate the diorama's construction.[62] The Audio-
Animatronic dinosaurs from the Ford Magic Skyway, one of the attractions created by Disney for the 1964 New York World's Fair,
were incorporated into the diorama, including a Tyrannosaurus confronting a Stegosaurus.[72] The diorama was one of the last
additions made to the DRR, and Disneyland in general, before the death of Walt Disney on December 15, 1966.[73]

From 1982, A, B, C, D, and E tickets were discontinued in favor of a pay-one-price admission system for Disneyland, allowing
visitors to experience the park's attractions, including the DRR, as many times as desired.[45][74] In June 1985, the new Videopolis
Station, consisting of a covered platform with no station building, was built in the Fantasyland section for the DRR.[36] That same
year, the DRR's track on the northern edge of its route was expanded outwards in order to make room for the new Videopolis stage.[62]
With the Mickey's Toontown expansion of the park, Mickey's Toontown Depot, a cartoon-themed depot building, replaced Videopolis
Station in 1993.[36]

Out of a desire to have four trains regularly running at once each day on the DRR, in the mid-1990s the Disneyland park began to
search for an additional narrow-gauge steam locomotive to add to the railroad's rolling stock.[75] One such locomotive was acquired
from Bill Norred in 1996 in exchange for the combine car and four coaches from the DRR's retired Retlaw 1 passenger train set, but
after the park received it, the new locomotive was deemed to be too large for the DRR's operations.[27][75] It was then sent to the Walt
Disney World Railroad in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park in Bay Lake, Florida, where the locomotive was dedicated,
despite being too small for the railroad's operations, and named after Disney animator and rail enthusiast Ward Kimball.[75] Still
needing a fifth locomotive for the DRR, the park traded the Ward Kimball locomotive in 1999 to the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad
in the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, for a new locomotive suitable for the railroad.[75] Named Maud L., the
locomotive was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1902 and was originally used to haul sugar cane at the Laurel Valley Sugar
Plantation in Louisiana owned by the Barker and Lepine Company.[76][77] After arriving in Disneyland, the Maud L., later renamed
Ward Kimball like the locomotive for which it was traded, was given a new cab built by Disney and a new boiler built by Hercules
Power, which was subcontracted by Superior Boiler Works.[75] Due to budget issues, the restoration of the locomotive was suspended
not long after its arrival and its parts were planned to be placed in long-term storage in late 2003.[75] The Ward Kimball locomotive's
restoration efforts were resurrected soon after, when it was decided that its addition to the DRR would be incorporated into the
celebration of Disneyland's fiftieth anniversary in July 2005.[78] In late 2004, Boschan Boiler and Restorations led by Paul Boschan, a
former roundhouse manager and engineer at the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad in Felton, California, was
awarded the contract to complete the restoration of the Ward Kimball.[78][79] The restoration work performed included installing new
driving wheels, attaching a new smokebox door, and applying gold-leaf silhouettes of Kimball's Jiminy Cricket character on the sides
of the headlamp.[80] The Ward Kimball locomotive, which entered service on June 25, 2005, became the DRR's No. 5 locomotive and
on February 15 the following year, John Kimball, the son of Ward Kimball, who died in 2002, christened the locomotive during its
dedication ceremony.[81]

A few weeks before the debut of the No. 5 locomotive, the railroad, for the first time in its history, hosted a privately owned train on its
track.[82] On the morning of May 10, before Disneyland opened for the day, a private ceremony was held at New Orleans Square
Station to honor Disney animator and rail enthusiast Ollie Johnston, supposedly to thank him for helping to inspire Walt Disney's
passion for trains, which led to the creation of Disneyland.[82] The true motive for having Johnston there was soon revealed when a
simple steam train not part of the DRR's rolling stock, consisting of a locomotive named Marie E. and a caboose, rolled towards the
station and stopped at its platform.[82] Johnston, a previous owner of the steam train, used to run it on his vacation property, which he
sold, along with the train, in 1993.[83] The man who now owned the train was Pixar film director John Lasseter, who had brought the
train to Disneyland in order to give Johnston, his mentor, an opportunity to reunite with and drive his former locomotive.[82][84]
Johnston, then in his nineties, was helped into the Marie E. and with Lasseter at his side, he grasped the locomotive's throttle and
drove his former possession three times around the DRR's main line.[82][85] Although Johnston died in 2008, Lasseter continues to run
the Marie E., the caboose, and an assortment of train cars on his private Justi Creek Railway, which is complemented by the depot
building and water tower from Ward Kimball's former Grizzly Flats Railroad.[82][86]

The diesel oil used for fuel to generate steam in the DRR's locomotives was replaced in 2007 with B98 biodiesel, consisting of two
percent diesel oil and ninety-eight percent soybean oil.[87] Due to problems with storing the soybean-based biodiesel, the DRR briefly
switched back to conventional diesel oil in November 2008 before adopting new biodiesel incorporating recycled cooking oil in
January 2009.[44][88]

On January 11, 2016, the DRR temporarily closed to accommodate the construction of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.[89] The DRR
reopened on July 29, 2017, with a new route along the northern edge of the Rivers of America named Columbia Gorge, which features
rock formations, waterfalls, a trestle bridge, and the line's only left-hand turn.[90][91] The DRR's dioramas were also given new special
effects.[92] During a media preview for the attraction's reopening the previous day, John Lasseter brought his Marie E. locomotive and
drove it along the DRR's new route.[90] Pulled behind the Marie E. were an inoperable locomotive and train car, which were both
previously owned by Ward Kimball and run on his former Grizzly Flats Railroad.[90] The inoperable locomotive, named Chloe, and
the train car are now owned by the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California, which was in the process of restoring the
Chloe to operating condition at the time of the DRR's media preview.[90]

trains of the Disneyland Railroad travel along its single track in a clockwise direction on its
circular route.[35][93] The train will take around 18 minutes to complete a round trip on the
main line when three trains are running and 20 minutes when four trains are running, and on
any given day, between two and four trains run with three trains running on average.[62] An
engineer accompanied by a fireman operates the locomotive, while conductors at each end of
the train supervise the passengers.[94] Prior to departing Main Street, U.S.A. Station, the
engineer must confirm whether the signal light in the locomotive's cab is green, indicating that
The DRR's water tower at New Orleans
the track segment ahead is clear, or red, indicating that the track segment ahead is occupied by Square Station
another train.[95][96] The DRR's route is divided into eleven such segments, or blocks, and each
locomotive has a block signal in its cab to communicate the status of each block.[95][96] Prior
to the installation of cab signalling in the locomotives around 2005, the status of each block along the railroad's 1.2 miles (1.9 km) of
main-line track was displayed by track-side block signals, of which only the ones at the four stations remain.[96][97]

Once the signal light in the locomotive turns green, the journey from the Main Street, U.S.A. section begins with the train traversing a
small bridge, passing by the Adventureland section, and going through a tunnel before arriving at New Orleans Square Station in the
New Orleans Square section.[98] While the train is stopped at this station, where the locomotive takes on water from the railroad's
water tower if needed, a sound effect of a telegraph operator using a telegraph key to enter Morse code can be heard emanating from
the old Frontierland Station depot building.[98][99] The sound effect continuously repeats the first two lines of Walt Disney's 1955
Disneyland dedication speech.[98][99] Adjacent to the old Frontierland Station depot building, a freight house building used as a train
crew break and storage area can be seen, as well as a fully functioning historic semaphore signal connected to the station's block
signal.[57]

After the journey restarts, the train enters a tunnel through the Splash Mountain log flume attraction, crosses a trestle bridge over the
Critter Country section, wraps around the Rivers of America in the Frontierland section, and rolls through another tunnel before
reaching Mickey's Toontown Depot between the Mickey's Toontown and Fantasyland sections.[69][98] While the train is stopped at this
station, a non-functioning water tower can be seen on the opposite side of the track to the station's depot building.[36]

Once the journey resumes, the train moves across an overpass and passes by the faade of the It's a Small World water-based dark ride
attraction before reaching a fuel pump disguised as a boulder, where the train stops if the locomotive needs to be refueled.[69] From
this point, the train cuts across an access road and goes underneath the track of the Disneyland Monorail before stopping at
Tomorrowland Station in the Tomorrowland section.[69]

When the journey continues, the train goes across another access road and enters a tunnel containing the Grand Canyon Diorama
followed by the Primeval World Diorama.[69][100] As the train runs alongside the Grand Canyon Diorama, the main theme from On the
Trail, the third movement of Ferde Grof's Grand Canyon Suite, can be heard; and as the train runs alongside the Primeval World
Diorama, music from the 1961 film Mysterious Island can be heard.[54][101] Shortly after leaving the tunnel, the train arrives back at
Main Street, U.S.A. Station, completing what the park refers to as The Grand Circle Tour.[95][100]

An option to ride on a seat in the tenders of the DRR's locomotives is available upon request at Main Street, U.S.A. Station at the start
of each operating day.[102] The option to ride in the DRR's Lilly Belle parlor car is also available upon request at Main Street, U.S.A.
Station when a Disneyland employee is available to monitor the passengers aboard it and no heavy rain is falling.[102][103] The DRR's

The first four steam locomotives to enter service on the Disneyland Railroad are named after former
AT&SF Railway presidents.[20][54][60] Walt Disney himself, after putting on an engineer's outfit,
occasionally drove the DRR's locomotives when they were pulling trains with passengers on
board.[106] Each year, the DRR locomotive fleet consumes about 200,000 US gallons (760,000 l) of
fuel.[44] Since 2006, the locomotives of the DRR have been featured as static displays multiple times at
Fullerton Railroad Days, an annual festival that takes place at the Fullerton Transportation Center in
Fullerton, California.[107][108][109][110]

Train cars

The combine car from the Disneyland Railroad's former Retlaw 1 passenger train, one of the DRR's two original train sets, was Walt
Disney's favorite train car on the railroad, as it brought back memories from his youth working as a news butcher on the Missouri
Pacific Railway.[24]

Incidents
Within a week of Disneyland's opening on July 17, 1955, a brakeman pulled the switch connecting the Disneyland Railroad's
main line with a siding at Main Street, U.S.A. Station too soon as the Retlaw 2 freight train on the siding was passing the Retlaw
1 passenger train stopped at the station on the main line.[93][115] The caboose on the end of the freight train had not made it fully
across the switch when it was pulled and as a result, the caboose's front set of wheels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Railroad 10/14
07/08/2017 Disneyland Railroad - Wikipedia
across the switch when it was pulled and as a result, the caboose's front set of wheels
correctly traveled along the siding while the rear set of wheels incorrectly traveled along
the main line towards the passenger train, causing the caboose to swing to the side before
colliding with a concrete slab and derailing upon impact.[93][115] During the ensuing
commotion, the erring brakeman, presumably to avoid disciplinary action, quietly left
the scene of the accident, exited the park, and was not seen again.[93][115] No injuries
were reported and by the following year, the use of sidings at stations on the DRR's main
line came to an end.[48][95]
In February 2000, a tree in the Adventureland section fell onto the DRR's Holiday Red
freight train while it was in motion, damaging the awnings and their supports on the
gondolas as well as knocking off the cupola on top of the caboose before the train came The interior of the DRR's caboose
to a stop.[116] No injuries occurred as a result of this accident.[116]
At Tomorrowland Station in early 2004, accumulated diesel fumes in the firebox of the
DRR's No. 3 locomotive exploded after its fire suddenly went out.[117] The explosion ejected the engineer from the locomotive's
cab and inflicted serious burns on the fireman.[117]
