I got the chance to do this as a kid, though that was on the No. 3 engine, Roger E Broggie. To this day, it remains one of my best memories. So cool to get to see this and relive that experience. Thank you for posting.
DRR #3 is named Fred Gurley, and can't accommodate cab rides. Roger E Broggie is the Walt Disney World Railroad's #3, but they don't do cab rides there. The only Disney locomotives that give cab rides are Disneyland RR 1, 2, and 4.
@@MatecaCorp My experience wasn't something arranged or even part of normal operations. On the day I was there, the engine was stopped for water, and they had cast members come out to entertain the kids waiting at the station until they were ready to go. I, however, was much more interested in the engine than the characters, so I instead asked my parents to take me to talk to the engineer. He was absolutely delighted because no one ever came to talk to him, especially not a kid when the characters were out. It was because of that he offered to let me ride along on the footplate. I will also note this was over 30 years ago, so there's a big difference in how protocols were handled. I'm sure due to security concerns, that probably couldn't be repeated today.
This was a great video! Just like being there with you! The history and operation of these locomotives is very interesting. I hope to take a cab ride someday also. These gentlemen are very professional and really know their way around these machines! Thanks for the wonderful experience, i really enjoyed it!
It takes a long time to become an engineer on the DLRR. I became a locomotive engineer in a year on the Southern Pacific running 10000 ton trains over Mountain grades . 😅 The Santa Fe engineer s used to fill the firemen and engineers job from the engineer s extra board located in LA
Go to the main street station and ask them for a cab ride. You may have to wait for up to 2 hours as some trains don’t have seats on the tender. If the EP Ripley is running you will have a good chance.

Sounds louder than before. Great crew.
Those injectors they have on the Ripley are freaking awesome.

17:30 Those fuss plugs are a great safety feature and the injector they use is really cool
Super lucky dude!
A cab ride on Disneyland Railroad #2 “E.P. Ripley”.

Which train is the best one for a cab ride? I would seriously love to ride the cab area!
@@marcuscheng2507 the E.P. Ripley.
The one Walt ran
did anyone else hear what sounded like a wheel slip @ ~27:00
How were you able to do this?
Go to the main street station and ask them for a cab ride. You may have to wait for up to 2 hours as some trains don’t have seats on the tender. If the EP Ripley is running you will have a good chance.
Must be a vip thing
I'm curious, does anyone know how to apply for a job as a conductor, engineer or fireman on the DLRR?
You just apply for ride operations at Main Street and basically ask to train on it as a fireman, from what I understand.
Awesome!
