Post by: perrollaz on January 04, 2013, 05:54:08 AM
Switzerlands largest newspaper reports today:
"Accident with a small steam train at DLRP. Four people injured."

Hope they are all fine.

Have a fab time  :D

Accidents are always going to happen no  matter how many precautions are taken. Just glad it was nothing serious for those involved.

I'm surprised that a detached wagon doesn't stop with emergency breakes anyway.

I'm surprised the Disneyland Railroad is still closed.  Wonder how long it is going to be closed for?

Accidents happen;  I'm sure the trains were running as normal very soon afterwards.

Has the train re opened yet, We had heard the trains were being fitted with some kind of gate/doors on the carridges, does anyone know if this is true?

I don't know if the trains are running again, but the gates were fitted on the trains when I last visited in October. The fitting has nothing to do with the accident.(//http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx319/PeteHawke/DLRP51.jpg)

They actually slow everything down even more as cast members have to open each gate from outside of the train individually

It really seems that tgey have to fix something in a larger style. Maybe equipping all wagons with their own brakes?
