MK WDW Railroad

The Roger E. Broggie pulled us from Main Street to Carolwood then backed us into the yard. Then he went to bed.


Resting Roger

 

Roy Disney was 23 when Baldwin built the steam locomotive that would eventually be named in his honor.


Birth Certificate

 

Nothing says railroad like a fancy painting on your headlight.


Scenic View

 

The other side of Roy's headlight is plain in comparison. Given that the left side faces away from the park most of the time, that's perfectly reasonable. Click the photo to see my description of the rest of this stuff on Flickr.


Less Scenic View

 

So much pressure.


Double the Pressure

 

Getting ready to start 'er up. Remember what happened next? Stay tuned.


Light It Up

 

Yup, they tried to burn the place down.


This is Not Going Well

 

The sound of Casey Junior whistling "All aboard. Let's go" is stuck in my head now.


The Voice

 

The front end where the smoke comes out.


The Smoky Part

 

The front side of Roy.


Roy's Front End

 

How do you get to Fantasyland? Just follow the yellow brick... No, wrong place. Just follow the rails. Be sure to throw the switches first, though.


The Route to Fantasyland

 

Ready to go as soon as the conductor gives the signal.


Waiting for the Highball

 

You have to wait for everyone to leave to get a photo without people posing in front of the big Mickey.
