Disneyland Railroad - Main Street Station — Attraction in Anaheim

No visit to Disneyland would be complete without taking a ride on the train. Walt Disney was a great lover of trains and they have a train car replicated in honor of his wife Lillian called the Lilly Belle. Be sure to ask if it is running during your visit. I understand it is a great experience. Unfortunately during my visit that car was not running. Do however, check out the replica model of it at the Main St station. The original is in the Disney family museum.

You go on a grand circle tour of Disneyland with stops in New Orleans Square, Mickey's toontown fair, and Tomorrowland. All along the way you hear narration and get a glimpse of some of the behind the scene experiences with that part of the park you are going though. Much of the view is hidden by bushes-this is the "backstage area" where cast members work that you are not permitted to see.

As you take your journey listen to the sounds of the Jungle Cruise, see the rivers of America with an original Mike Fink keelboat and some Native Americans on the other side. As you head towards Tomorrowland you get a glimpse of the topiaries of Small World and see some of the cars of autotopia-a Disneyland original ride. Heading from Tomorrowland you enter a long tunnel showing the great southwest and the famous dinosaurs that were popular from the Magic Skyway attraction in the Ford wonder rotunda at the New York World's fair. My favorite was always the confrontation between the T-rex and the stegosaurus.

You are free to disembark at any of the stations of take the whole grand circle tour as my husband and I did. It was a world of enjoyment.

All in all it is one of the fastest ways to get from one side of the park to another and sit back and relax and enjoy a nostalgic ride on a piece of history. Located on top of the entry gate at Main St USA...

My whole family and friends were about to get on that train and it broke down not just the train but the others the Disneyland railroad there was other ones that we went to go see but they were broken down too too bad we end up going home not writing all the rice that we wanted to but with the money we spent they just to get in and to ride bike it wasn't that great so I hope next time we do come back again I'll be very very long from now that everything will start working right because we don't live there we go there to visit and enjoy yourself at Disney world but those are living there there they can always go back when they can but when we call we have to travel and hope to to ride on the rights but we didn't get to right so many of them that we wanted to get on because they broke down so hopefully one day that that they do have them all all running so I gave them a three and everything else but it's a wonderful place to walk but I guess that's all you spend your money on just to walk and maybe get on some...

The Disneyland Railroad is the true People Mover, not those boxy contraptions that used to be in Tomorrowland until they were replaced by Rocket Rods (My stripper name, BTW) which closed down shortly thereafter. The Disney choo-choo has stations in all 4 corners of the park - Mainstreet USA, New Orleans Square, Toontown & Tomorrowland. Now, I'm the type that enjoys walking. I don't mind if it's several blocks, uphill, through a nest of pit vipers-I'm a walker (Not a zombie walker, but a walker). As long as I have my trusty fisherman's(aka boonie) hat to provide cover from the sun, I'm good! However, whenever I need to take a rest for my out of shape body, I hop on the choo-choo for a breather. I'm resting, but It feels like I'm still doing something because the scenery changes. Cheesy dinosaurs greet you during the ride. The "Land of the Lost" dinosaurs from the TV show look more scary than these puppies, but that's just part & parcel of the Disney Railroad's nostalgic charm.
