Walt Disney World Railroad TRAINing Continues at Magic Kingdom Park
On November 15, the Walt Disney World Railroad train made its first arrival at the Main Street, U.S.A. station in almost four years! These amazing locomotives continue to get ready to return to service while Cast Members don their engineer hats and overalls once again.
During this testing phase, Guests will be able to hear the clamor of the engine and the chug of the wheels around Magic Kingdom Park. Additional information about when the Walt Disney World Railroad will be ready for passengers will be shared in the near future.
Here's the official description of the attraction as seen on Walt Disney World's official website:
All Aboard!

Take your seat on 1 of 4 meticulously restored, vintage narrow-gauge steam trains—originally built between 1916 and 1928—and enjoy a relaxing 20-minute, 1.5-mile scenic round-trip tour. It’s a convenient—and nostalgic—way to get around Magic Kingdom park!

Walt’s Lifelong Passion
A noted train enthusiast, Walt Disney built his very first railroad in his backyard. The Carolwood Pacific Railroad, a 1/8-scale train, debuted in 1950 and featured a custom-built, steam powered locomotive that encircled his property. Delighted with his miniature backyard railroad, Walt decided to share his love of trains with the whole world. The result was the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad, a favorite of Guests since the park opened in 1955.
