The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge rail transport attraction in Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened on September 12, 2005, the same day the park opened. Its route is 5,000 feet (1,524 m) long and encircles the majority of the park with stations in the Main Street, U.S.A. and Fantasyland sections.

## Ride experience

Traveling in a clockwise direction, the train departs Main Street Station and travels through Adventureland, where passengers are able to see Grizzly Gulch and the rivers of the Jungle River Cruise. Parts of Mystic Point and Toy Story Land can also be seen. After passing through Adventureland, the train arrives in Fantasyland and makes a stop at Fantasyland Station. Passengers who wish to visit this land may disembark at this station.
After dropping off and picking up passengers, the train then departs Fantasyland Station, traveling over the passageway to the World of Frozen. Passengers are also able to see the Fantasy Gardens, Mad Hatter Tea Cups, and the walkway to It's a Small World. The train also travels underneath the queue line of the Storybook Theater, currently home to the stage show Mickey and the Wondrous Book.
The train then leaves Fantasyland and passes through Tomorrowland, where passengers can see Space Mountain (currently themed as Hyperspace Mountain) and other attractions in the area. It also passes through the showbuilding of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! and Iron Man Experience, both part of Stark Expo. After passing through Tomorrowland, the train finally arrives back at Main Street Station, completing the journey around the park.

Legend :
The Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad operates three 4-4-0DH steam-outline locomotives built in 2004 by Severn Lamb, which were named after past Walt Disney Company presidents. There are also two sets of train cars, each consisting of five coaches with a total seating capacity of 250 people on contoured benches facing sideways per train.
Unlike other railroads at Disneyland-style parks, where the trains are powered by actual steam locomotives, Hong Kong Disneyland's trains are powered by steam-outline locomotives, which are diesel locomotives with the outward appearance of steam locomotives. This is due to Hong Kong's strict emissions standards, which also served as a cost-effective measure that obviated the need to build new steam locomotives, or the finding and transport to Hong Kong of suitable existing narrow gauge steam locomotives. As a result, in order to mimic the sound of an actual steam locomotive, typical steam audio (chuffing, steam whistle, etc.) are emitted from speakers installed on each locomotive. Despite the fact that they are not steam-powered, Dana Amendola, the author of All Aboard: The Wonderful World of Disney Trains, describes the locomotives as "a representation of the golden age of railroading."
