Disney4me Posted October 20, 2024 Report Share Posted October 20, 2024 We know it can be a big bummer if you’re visiting a Disney park and a ride goes down for refurbishment, but it’s always exciting when that ride reopens. Disneyland Sometimes those refurbishments are just an opportunity for Disney to spruce up things on the ride a bit. Sometimes, it’s just time to give the rides some extra maintenance. Other times, rides get new vehicles, tracks, themes, and more. Well, one classic Disney ride has been closed for a while now, but it’s set to reopen SOON. Over in Disneyland, the Disneyland Railroad is an opening-day attraction with many special ties to Walt Disney himself. That ride has been closed since early August, though, to get a little bit of an update, including a new track. However, according to the Disneyland website, it will reopen soon, on October 25th. ©Disney That’s right, you’ll soon be able to ride the railroad’s 1.2-mile route around Disneyland Park again. As you may know, the railroad was imagined by Walt Disney, who took inspiration from the miniature railroad he had in his backyard (Walt was obsessed with trains). The Disneyland Railroad features a set of freight cars pulled by a live steam locomotive. You’ve probably seen scores of photos of Walt driving the train, so it’s considered an iconic part of Disney history. Walt Disney and Trains The Disneyland Railroad opened with Disneyland in 1955, although it has gone through a few changes since then. In the 1950s and 1960s, two massive dioramas were added to the train experience, while dioramas were added in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1970s, one of the cars was converted into a parlor car named the Lilly Belle, after Walt’s wife, Lillian. In the 200s, the train switched from diesel oil to biodiesel as fuel.
