Disneyland Railroad Gets First New Engine In Nearly 50 Years, Honors Famed Disney Animator

" In an exclusive ceremony yesterday at Disneyland in southern California, hundreds of Disney "Cast Members" came together to show their love for one of the park's original attractions - - the Disneyland Railroad - - and to join in the dedication of two additions to the famed railway - - the new Ward Kimball steam engine and the returning Lilly Belle VIP parlor car..."

I love the Disneyland Railroad! I always try to ride it at least once when we visit. You may have seen it, but Mice Agehad a nice article on the Lilly Belle. Go to the bottom of the linked page and the next two pages. Some really great interior photos. Also, Mouse Planet had some great articles over the past year or so about the Ward Kimball. I'm sure you could find them if you searched that site.
Now I want to go to Disneyland again

The Ward Kimball has been in service in Disneyland since June 2005.
