Hey guys, I've been undecided about this for the last couple of months and have finally taken the plunge and created a wikipedia article for our Disneyland Railroad. It is currently a stub article (very small) and needs some serious expanding.
If anyone has any knowledge about the Railroad and wants to help, you can either publish it straight to:
//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Railroad_(Paris)
or put it in this topic :)
Here's a list of the subject areas needed!
- Layout,
- Rail Cars,
- History,
- Stations,
- Route and circle tour,
- Locomotives,
- Operation and...
- Crew
If you know anything about Wikipedia, most of the stuff needed can be copy-edited from the article //http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Railroad.
Thanks for any help available!
I've found the names of the four trains that travel around the park, the book is from 2006 so I don't know if there are less or more trains right now:
1.- Presidential Train, a replica of the trains that were used by government officials.
2.- Wild West Train.
3.- East Coast Excursion Train.
4.- Eureka, named after the shout that started the gold fever.
The book also says that the trains work with a diesel boiler, each boiler gets filled once in an hour in the Frontierland depot. Each train can hold 270 visitors and trains arrive to the stations each 10 minutes. A complete detour through the park lasts 20 minutes.
That is a wonderful idea, I hope there will be a full Wiki article about DLP railroad soon.
