Trains Involved In Disney Monorail Crash Retired

Walt Disney World is planning to retire two monorail trains that were involved in the July 5 accident that killed a driver.

The pink and purple lines will be out of service to pay respect to the cast members involved in the crash, including 21-year-old Austin Wuennenberg, who died.

The new train will be the teal line, which will be compiled from the parts of the pink and purple trains that were not damaged when the two trains collided over the summer.Before the crash, Disney had 12 trains operating.

Disney expects the new teal line to begin carrying guests sometime in the fall, after it undergoes extensive safety testing.
