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.

Hundreds of Walt Disney World monorail passengers were stranded for hours following a power outage early this morning, according to published reports. Seven monorails were operating at the time of the power failure, according to a report on WOFL-TV’s Web page. The report indicated one train was empty, three were at stations and three others were between stations at the time of the power outage. The Associated Press reported that firefighters evacuated some passengers from the trains, but the bulk of passengers disembarked after the monorails were towed to stations. — Railfanning.org News Wire
