Disneyland Railroad – Disneyland

An Iconic Piece of Disneyland History

Summary

The Disneyland Railroad is an attraction and method of transportation at Disneyland. The train circles most of the park, stopping at stations in Main Street U.S.A., New Orleans Square, Mickey’s Toontown and Tomorrowland. In between stops, guests will embark on a journey near four of America’s most notable rivers: the Mississippi, the Columbia, the Rio Grande and the Missouri. There are also two massive dioramas, the Grand Canyon and Primeval World, which riders will find in between the Tomorrowland and Main Street stations. These dioramas have a storied history and showcase beautiful landscapes and huge dinosaur animatronics, truly the icing on the cake for this majestic railroad ride.
