The Disneyland Railroad steam train

Fancy discovering Disneyland Paris comfortably seated in a railway carriage? The Disneyland Railroad offers a leisurely tour aboard trains that faithfully recreate those of the nineteenth century. Extime Travel invites you aboard, with four stations from which to begin the journey and just as many ways to explore the park anew.

The steam locomotives of the Disneyland Railroad

Four trains, each pulled by reproductions of authentic steam locomotives that run just like those of old, await visitors to Disneyland Paris. The designers drew inspiration from genuine locomotives, including those preserved at the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and in Sacramento.

The W.F. Cody

Is named after Buffalo Bill, whose real name was William Frederick Cody. It sports a Western look suited to the American West, in gold and green.

The C.K. Holliday

Honors Cyrus Kurtz Holliday, a pioneer of the American railroads, behind the line that has linked New England in the northeast to Santa Fe, New Mexico, since the nineteenth century. Its carriages recall that route by bearing the names of famous northeastern resorts such as Coney Island and Atlantic City.

The George Washington

Pays tribute to one of the founding fathers of the United States and its first president. It wears the national colors: blue, white, and red.

The Eureka

Entered service when Discoveryland Station opened. Its name evokes both the cries of Californian gold prospectors striking a nugget and the famous exclamation of the Greek scholar Archimedes, echoing the creative spirit of Discoveryland.

The four stations and the track

Created in 1992, the Disneyland Railroad line still offers visitors a restful journey through the park's various enchanted realms. Four stations serve different areas of the park.

Main Street Station

Sits at the entrance to Disneyland Paris, in the area called Main Street USA.

Fantasyland Station

Naturally serves Fantasyland, and also Adventureland, which has no station of its own.

Frontierland Depot

Serves Frontierland, devoted to the American West.

Discoveryland Station

The most recent of the four, provides easy access to Discoveryland.

The full loop lasts around thirty minutes. Sets and tableaux enliven the trackside along the way. Between Main Street USA and Frontierland, you can admire the Grand Canyon Diorama, which depicts the flora and fauna of the real Grand Canyon in Arizona. As was once the case on working railroads, a water tower supplies the steam locomotives; it stands in Frontierland and has a distinctly Western look. The route also passes through the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, adding a touch of adventure to the ride.
