A ride at the Walt Disney World Railroad is always amazing, especially behind their steam locomotives, Walt Disney World Railroad #1 “Walter E. Disney” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in May 1925), Walt Disney World Railroad #2 “Lilly Belle” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in September 1928), Walt Disney World Railroad #3 “Roger E. Broggie” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in May 1925), and Walt Disney World Railroad #4 “Roy O. Disney” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in February 1916). All were imported to Mexico for a narrow gauge railroad there before being brought to the WDWRR between the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Great facts and thank you for sharing them! Thank you for watching as well! We love the trains at any theme park we visit. I have vivid memories of the Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm steam trains as a young child and grew my love for them there! Recently we got to visit the steam train at Dollywood, that was a very fun ride at dusk going up and down the mountain side.
@@AttractionsPOV They are all wonderful, I have been to the Disneyland Railroad before, that heritage railroad over in the Disneyland Theme Park in Anaheim, California. The last time I was there was in September 2023. They have five steam locomotives. Disneyland Railroad #1 “C.K. Holliday” (Built by Walt Disney Studios in 1954), Disneyland Railroad #2 “E.P. Ripley” (Built by Walt Disney Studios in 1954), Disneyland Railroad #3 “Fred Gurley” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1894), Disneyland Railroad #4 “Ernest S. Marsh” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925), and Disneyland Railroad #5 “Ward Kimball” (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1902). All of them along with the DRR are narrow gauge to let you know. Along with the two others you mentioned, the Ghost Town & Calico Railroad at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California is a pretty cool one. Though I have never been there before. But I’m hoping one day to see it by the next year 2025. All the locomotives and equipment came from the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (On the narrow gauge system from the states of Colorado and New Mexico) and the Rio Grande Southern Railroad (In the state of Colorado). There are three locomotives at the GT&C, Denver & Rio Grande Western 340 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1881), Rio Grande Southern 41 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1881), and Rio Grande Southern Galloping Goose No. 3 (Built in 1931). The railroad also used to have a third steam locomotive, that being Denver & Rio Grande Western 464 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1903). It had also hauled trains at the GT&C, but not very long unfortunately as it had trouble going around the tight curve clarences of the railroad’s tracks. So it was then later moved to the Huckleberry Railroad in Flint, Michigan for operating tourist train rides there. As of now the locomotive is awaiting a overhaul since 2019. The Dollywood Express Railroad is another theme park railroad that I have never been to before, but I would like to one day. Most of the steam locomotives there are narrow gauge and used to run at the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad (Now as a heritage railroad running in Skagway, Alaska, United States and Carcross, British Columbia, Canada). They are Dollywood Express No. 192 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1943), Dollywood Express No. 70 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1938), Dollywood Express No. 71 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1939), and finally their only standard gauge steam locomotive that is on display known as Southern Railway 107 (A.K.A East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad No. 419, built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in November 1887). There was also going to be another WP&Y Steam Locomotive to be moved to the Dollywood Express Railroad, which was White Pass & Yukon 72 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1947). But was badly damaged in a roundhouse fire in 1969, and was sadly scrapped in 1974. It’s chassis would be saved and preserved until it was also scrapped over by 1999. And now all the remains of 72 is one of it’s builder plates. To be honest, if White Pass & Yukon 72 was not badly damaged in a roundhouse fire and mostly scrapped, it could’ve been in operation here at the Dollywood Express Railroad from 1970 to 2000 and to this day could’ve been displayed at the Toronto Railway Museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. That’s all my imaginational vision.
Wow thank you for all that great information! I will definitely be referring back to this information several times. I hope your able to see the Knotts and Dollywood trains soon! We have the Dollywood train ride posted on our channel but not the Knotts on. We where at Disneyland recently and saddened that the railroad was not running. Thank you for watching and providing amazing info!
@@AttractionsPOV Also to let you know, White Pass & Yukon 72 isn’t the only steam locomotive to be scrapped during the preservation of steam locomotives. There were more sadly like Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán No. 52, Southern Pacific 743, Grand Trunk Western 5629, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 5620, Northern Pacific 2676, and some other steam locomotives too. So for my imaginational vision for these five I mentioned of how they would’ve ended up preserved to this day. Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán No. 52 could’ve been displayed at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado, Southern Pacific 743 could’ve been displayed at the Arizona State Railroad Museum in Williams, Arizona (Near The Grand Canyon Railway), Grand Trunk Western 5629 could’ve been displayed at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 5620 could’ve been displayed at the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, Kansas, and Northern Pacific 2676 could’ve been displayed at the RailGiants Train Museum in Pomona, California.

@@AttractionsPOV The Disneyland Railroad is currently having track maintenance. But should be back in service sometime very soon.
