The locomotives of the Walt Disney World Railroad are the Lilly Belle, the Walter E. Disney, the Roy O. Disney and the Roger E. Broggie. All four of these people were essential to the existence of Disney World. The four locomotives date from 1916 to 1928 and were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, PA. After being salvaged from the Yucatan in Mexico, they were shipped to the Tampa Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company for restoration.
The WDW Railroad makes three stops within the Magic Kingdom. The main stop, and the first building you see from outside the park, is Main Street USA Station. There is all sorts of train memorabilia inside the station for you to enjoy while waiting for the next train. From here, the trains travel to Frontierland station in the northwest corner of the park. The third and final stop is Mickey's Toontown Fair Station in the northeast corner of the park. The 1.5 mile round trip takes about 20 minutes.
