The Walt Disney World Railroad (or WDWRR for short) is a narrow gauge railroad circling the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Operated by Main Street Operations, the 3 ft (914 mm) gauge, 1.5-mile (2.4 km) railroad circles the entire park with stations at Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and formerly at the now-closed Mickeys Toontown Fair (But this stop will re-open with the opening of the new Storybook Circus). One of the busiest steam-powered railroads, it transports over 1.5 million passengers each year.\r
\r
The railroad has four different locomotives and four sets of passenger cars. The four locomotives were found on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico before they were taken and refurbished at the Tampa Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. These locomotives are narrow-gauge locomotives, built between 1916 and 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia. \r
