Walt Disney World Railroad

All Aboard! This narrow-gauge steam train takes you on a nostalgic 2.4-km (one-and-a-half mile) journey around the Magic Kingdom Park. Board the train for a trip directly to Frontierland or Mickey's Toontown Fair, or take a relaxing round trip. It's the perfect introduction to our happy place.

Facts:

The train tracks are narrow gauge and they bought them from Nome, Alaska because they were cheaper to buy there than to have new ones made.

The WDW railroad that circles the Magic Kingdom is 1.5 miles long. It takes 20 minutes to complete the journey.

The trains actually use regulation whistle signals while operating the trains :

• 1 short toot for attention,
• 2 shorts when ready to leave the station,
• 4 long toots to indicate train in distress,
• two long 1 short 1 long for approching a station, and
• 1 long 1 short 2 longs for leaving a station.

There are four railroad engines, named the Lilly Belle, Water Elias Disney, Roy O. Disney and Roger E. Brooge.

All of the enigines were built in the United States around the turn of the last century between 1917 and 1928 making them the second oldest attraction in the park after the carrousel.
