NEW: Testing of the Walt Disney World Railroad will begin TODAY. This testing is just part of the overall refurbishment – the train will reopen to guests when TRON construction allows.

The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed since December of 2018 with much of the track being refurbished or reworked like in the Tron Lightcycle Run attraction area.

The train is not expected to be open to guests and we still do not have a reopening date for the fan-favorite Walt Disney World Railroad.

Here is more information on the Walt Disney World Railroad in the Magic Kingdom:
Listen to the clamor of the engine, the chug of the wheels and the call of the whistle aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad.
Ride 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!!
