Walt Disney World Railroad

The Walt Disney World Railroad (or WDWRR for short) is a narrow guage railroad circling the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Operated by Main Street Operations, the 3 ft (914 mm) guage, 1.5-mile (2.4 km) railroad circles the entire park with stations at Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and formerly at the now-closed Mickey's Toontown Fair (But this stop will re-open with the opening of the new Storybook Circus). One of the busiest steam-powered railroads, it transports over 1.5 million passengers each year.

Trains
The railroad has four different locomotives and four sets of passenger cars. The four locomotives are narrow-guage locomotives, built between 1916 and 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia.

A regular train consists of a steam locomotive, tender, and five passenger cars with a capacity of approximately 365 passengers and 2 wheelchairs. The tender has a capacity for 1,837 U.S. gallons (6,953 I) of fuel oil. The tender needs to be topped off with water every three or four trips (or circuits) around the park. The water tower located at the former Mickey's Toontown Fair station, nessesitaing the trains still stop there to refill.

Locomotives
Each of the four locomotives is named after those who greatly contributed to the efforts of the Disney Company and the Walt Disney World Resort.

No. 1 "Walter E. Disney"
This locomotive is named for the man behind the mouse, Walt Disney (1901-1966). Walt loved railroads and his parks have always displayed his love for trains.
 * Built: 1925
 * Wheel Configuration: 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler"
 * Serial Number: 58444
 * Locomotive Colors: Red cab with red boiler jacket
 * Coach Color: Red with red poles
 * Coach Number Series: 100
 * Driver Diameter: 44 inches (111 cm)
 * Locomotive and Tender Weight (dry): 67000 pounds (30,390 kg)

No. 2 "Lilly Belle"
The Lilly Belle is named after Walt Disney's wife Lillian Disney (born Lillian Marie Bounds) (1899-1997). "Lilly Belle" is also the name of the scaled-down steam locomotive Disney ran in his own backyard and the parlour car of the Disneyland Railroad. It should also be noted that Lilly Belle was built in 1928, which would make it as old as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Lilly Belle has been retired from day to day passenger service due to frame issues and is used exclusively for the daily park opening ceremonies. All of the coaches on her train set except for the last car do not have the new side panels so that the characters on the train may exit onto the outside platform at the Main Street Station. She is steamed up for the opening show where she brings Mickey Mouse and company to Main Street Station. Following the show, she is then brought back to the roundhouse and put on standby. Should one of the other trains encounter a problem during the day?, Lilly Belle would be attached to another train's coaches since it takes several hours to add or remove the side panels to the cars.

No. 3 "Roger E. Broggie"
This locomotive is named after Roger E. Broggie (1908-1991), who led the effort of acquiring the locomotives for the Walt Disney World Railroad and helped build Disney's own Carolwood Pacific Railroad. Roger Broggie was also the original Disney Imagineer who worked on the EPCOT theme park project.

No. 4 "Roy O. Disney"
The Number 4 locomotive is named after Walt Disney's older brother and business partner, Roy Oliver Disney (1893-1971). Roy saw the completion of his brother's dream after Walt's death in 1966 due to lung cancer and completed the construction of then named "Disney World". Roy renamed the resort to "Walt Disney World" in Walt's honor and died just shortly after the Magic Kingdom opened on October 1, 1971. Roy was offered to have the second 4-6-0 (which is now the "Roger E. Broggie") named after him, so that the Walt Disney and Roy Disney engines would be alike, but he refused because he "didn't want to be compared to all the great things Walt has done". The Roy O. Disney was the only WDWRR locomotive that was not steaming at the park on Opening Day 1971. Its restoration was not finished until December of that year, shortly after Roy's Death on December 20, 1971 due to a stroke, thus allowing the company to name the locomotive in his honor.
