Rare Sights these Days...
Title:  Rare Sights these Days...
Description:  I know it is not a great photo, but I figured I would share it; a standard cab C40-8 is not a common sight anymore on the UP. The C40-8 is inbetween an SD-40-2 (UP 3279 if I am reading it right) and a wide cab C40-8W; UP 9396 (The nose of 9396 is on the far right of the photo)

On a Jolly Holliday...
Title:  On a Jolly Holliday...
Description:  It was no secret Walt Disney was a huge foamer, and the Disneyland Railroad was his private live steam operation. Due to the construction of a new Star Wars themed area, the Disneyland Railroad has temporarily suspended operation. With that, the steam crew has placed their locomotives on static display and are offering close up looks. This is myself, next to DLRR 1 which was based on Walt Disneys 7 1/4" gauge backyard steam train. Id say going from 7 1/4" scale to 3 is a huge way to upgrade a hobby, and that is what Walt did!

DLRR 1
Title:  DLRR 1
Description:  DLRR 1 the CK Holliday with a hand car. The DLRR 1 was built in 1955 by WED for use by the RETLAW corporation on its Disneyland Railroad. Lets just say WED was the initials of the parks owner, and RETLAW is his first name spelled backwards!

Fronteirland/New Orleans Square Depot
Title:  Fronteirland/New Orleans Square Depot
Description:  Long story short, a Walt Disney Studios film made before Disneyland was built, used an identical depot which was then relocated to Ward Kimball's Grizzly Flats Narrow Gauge Railroad. When Walt began construction of Disneyland he wanted Ward to give him the depot back. Ward refused, so Walt had WED build the exact same depot again for use at Disneyland... The telegraph noise in the background famously transcribes the opening day address of Disneyland into Morse Code.

In the Hot Seat, going nowhere
Title:  In the Hot Seat, going nowhere
Description:  A Disneyland Railroad employee and myself in the engineers seat. One of the few benefits of the railroad not running right now was the chance to sit here. Of course they aren't letting people drive it :) There is a derail flag in the tunnel only a few feet away from here! This beautiful engine will only be steamed up for switch moves until 2017 when the line reopens again to complete the famed "Grand Circle Tour of Walt Disneys Magic Kingdom." Of note from my conversation with the DLRR employee: the steam engines on the line have speedometers that measure in feet, not MPH as line speeds rarely exceed 5 MPH. The boiler pressure of this locomotive was increased from 125 psi to 150 psi during its last rebuild, and now has more weight on it's drivers. This is important as the rerouted track being built for the Star Wars Land expansion will ad about a 2% grade and a sharp s-curve to the Disneyland Railroad's route. This new track routing will be the first left turn on the Disneyland Railroad's mainline after 60 years of operations. Previously the only left turn was the switch leaving the train shed onto the mainline.

Description:  The builders plate on the Fred Gurley attests to its authentic Baldwin heritage... even if the paint and trimmings have been a bit "Disney-fied." The Fred Gurley is currently on static display as the Disneyland Railroad has shut down until 2017 due to Star Wars Land construction.
