| Origins: |
One of Walt Disney's
greatest loves was model trains. So much so that
he built a miniature railroad (dubbed the Carolwood-Pacific)
around his home and would take house guests an
rides
around the property.
A railroad circling the entire park was always
a given as the plans for Disneyland (and
its conceptual
predecessor, Riverside park near the Disney Burbank
studios) were developed. Naturally, the railroad
was also included in the plans for the
Magic
Kingdom. |
| Updates: |
In recent years, the
locomotives and several of the passenger cars required
extensive renovations.
Rather than shut the railroad down, many of the
passenger cars were interchanged with the locomotives,
thus keeping the railroad in service.
Some of the renovations included the removal of
the PA system and conductor's panel from the
rear of the third car, leaving the panel on a deck
at the rear of the train for safer operation.
Side panels were also added to the sides of the
coaches. |
