HK-352759 Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad

The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad (HKDLRR) is a narrow gauge railroad at Hong Kong Disneyland. It opened together with the park on September 12, 2005. The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad is the first attraction seen when entering the park. The train transports guests around the park which is also known as the "Grand Circle Tour".

The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad has two passenger trains:

Walter E. Disney - This train is named after Walt Disney, the founder of the Walt Disney Company. It has 5 cars which are named after cities in California, namely Anaheim, Burbank, Glendale, Los Angeles and California.

Roy O. Disney - This train is named after Roy O. Disney, the brother of Walt Disney and the co-founder of the Walt Disney Company. It also has 5 cars namely Chicago, Marceline, Kansas City, Hollywood and Orlando.

The ‘steam locomotives’ are actually fake. The tenders are the real locomotives that haul the trains. They run on diesel fuel while typical steam audio (chuffing, steam whistle, etc.) are emitted from speakers.
