LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — It is easy to forget that Walt Disney World is home to an amazing railroad collection.
The theme park is home to four working steam locomotives: the Walter E. Disney, the Lilly Belle, the Roger E. Broggie and the Roy O. Disney. The history of these locomotives has been covered extensively.
Now, many railfans may not like the theme park appearance Disney Imagineers gave to these venerable steamers. It sure beats a trip to the scrap yard.
The pictures in this gallery were taken in July 2013.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating Sunday’s fatal monorail collision at the Walt Disney World resort, authorities said. A Walt Disney World cast member was killed early Sunday morning (July 5) when two monorails collided at the Ticket and Transportation Center. The cast member, a 21-year-old, was piloting a monorail that crashed into a second train, according to published reports. There is some speculation that one of the monorails may have been backing up at the time of the crash, the driver perhaps thinking he was backing onto a spur track. Disney said
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) recently awarded more than $520,000 in Railroad Trespassing Enforcement Grants to law enforcement agencies in several states.
