Walter E. Disney Engine 1 Has Been Newly Refurbished
D23 revealed the first look for the newly refurbished Walter E. Disney Engine 1 from the Walt Disney World Railroad. The train that circles the Magic Kingdom with 3 stops had to be closed during the construction of TRON. The track runs through the construction site. No reopening date was given at this time.

The Walt Disney WorldRailroad gives a scenic route around the Magic Kingdom. Listen to the clamor of the engine, the chug of the wheels and the call of the whistle as you travel aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad. Take your seat on 1 of 4 meticulously restored, vintage narrow-gauge steam trains—originally built between 1916 and 1928—and enjoy a relaxing 20-minute, 1.5-mile scenic round-trip tour.

A noted train enthusiast, Walt Disney built his very first railroad in his backyard. The Carolwood Pacific Railroad, a 1/8-scale train, debuted in 1950 and featured a custom-built, steam powered locomotive that encircled his property.
