    Who would've known that railfans were amazing cartoon animators like Walt Disney himself, I'm actually proud of his love for trains much like mine and others.

    The only reason I go to Walt Disney World is because of all the trains it has, my personally favorite are the steam engines, Roy 'O Disney #4 is my favorite one out of all of them, its amazing how these babies are still running, I mean thats the way America was buit, I am a South Florida Railfan, I railfan the Florida East Coast Railway, but I personally love Union Pacific's building America logo.. TRAINS ARE AWESOMEEE!!!! They still shining all over the world...

    May he rest in peace with the many railroad men before him. Let him ride the cannonball through the heavens. His legacy will live on in all of us brave railroad men and women. You all at Disney parks that take care of those beautiful locomotives have always brought a tear to my eye and i salute you all.

    Long live railroads! Personally, I like todays railroad equipment, like the Amtrak Genesis diesel engine, but in the history of trains, we will never forget the golden ages of steam, EVER! old railroad equipment is more famous than today's equipment in my opinion.

  • @TheAtlantaRailfan

    One of my favorite things about disney World is that they saved 4 steam locomotives from scrap and using real steam instead of a gas powered engine with a steam shell helps bring the magic to life.

    We were there that day this was filmed. And my daughter and I are in this video!. Well at least we'll have an official Disney record of our trip. The tour guide was not that good (talked to fast and sometimes unintelligible) but it was a great behind the scenes tour. It is a rare tour (small group) and you get in before anybody else or any other tour for the day. Stange to see Main street almost empty with only cast members.

    Exactly the same except for the computerized signals and computerized automatic train stop, that will not let the trains go over a set speed, but when you have three trains on 2 miles of track, and multiple stops, It makes things easier, and safer.

    • @railfanjackson4531
      @railfanjackson4531 4 роки тому

      It’s not even a Disney property. It was acquired through a license deal with the owners of Chuggington. They have since dropped the show though, thank god, as it now is on Netflix.
      Honestly if Mattel goes bankrupt and has to close it’s doors, I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if Disney acquires the rights to Thomas.

    There's a rumor going around on Disney and railroad forums that upper management at Walt Disney World have decided to phase out the historic steam engines in favor of diesel hydraulic engines similiar to the ones at Hong Kong Disneyland. I hope this isn't true...

    • @Altmetalpunk
      @Altmetalpunk 8 років тому +7

      +trolleyjolly it's not. if that happened walt would come back from the dead just to reinstate them. They go down every year for restoration. If they ever broke the company would spend a lot of money on rebuilding them from the ground up, pretty much what's going on with the lillie bell right now.

    • @trolleytravels
      @trolleytravels 8 років тому +1

      +Altmetalpunk When I wrote this comment, there was a group of Walt Disney World RR fans who had connections "in the know" and were concerned about the future of steam. I'm glad say that, since then, both they and I were proven wrong. Steam is safe (for now)!

    • @Altmetalpunk
      @Altmetalpunk 8 років тому +1

      That rumor is always going around but it's never going to be true. The steam trains were walt's babies and there's a reason why every park that opens has ones built for them.

    • @scottbaxter7215
      @scottbaxter7215 5 років тому

      This is true.. there was a movement to do this. In fact it made it as far as the WDW roundhouse. When the lead engineer heard about it he immediately called Michael Broggie, the founder of the Carolwood Pacific Preservation Society, who grew up around Walt's railroad and the studio. Once Michael was told about it he immediately went to the Disney Executive who was in charge of that decision and asked about it. He was told that the paperwork to make it official and to start the process was on his desk waiting for his signature. After talking with Michael, the exec found the paperwork and replied to the request saying that it was to NEVER be brought up again and in no way would this ever be allowed to happen.

      actually, it did start with the love of trains. Walt had his train at his home and had so many people wanting rides that he figured he'd setup a park with train rides and other rides next to the studio but Burbank council said NO so he bought the land that is now Disneyland and built that park. All because he loved trains. The mouse was part of the studio and the two were tied together in the park!
