Tracks for Walt Disney World Railroad

Tracks for Walt Disney World Railroad are getting ready to be laid near Tron Lightcycle Run. The last time the Walt DIsney World Railroad ran was on December 2, 2019. It closed the next day to accommodate the construction of the Tron Lightcycle Run track and building. Tracks have been ripped up, and there has been no word on a reopening as of this time.

There is hope though! We were at Magic Kingdom today and got around the back section of Storybook Circus and noticed they have a stack of railroad parts ready to be laid down. You can see in the images below, railroad ties, and steal railroad tracks are now sitting in a pile. Along with rock work that has been done and smoothed out leading to the Fantasyland Station.

We hope to know more soon and bring you updates on the Walt Disney World Railroad in the near future. Moreover, we hope that it is all positive news.

Walt Disney World Railroad

Listen to the clamor of the engine, the chug of the wheels, and the call of the whistle as you travel aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad.

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.
