Western River Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Western River Railroad is Tokyo Disneyland's version of its steam-powered railroad. It does not circle the whole park; it instead passes through Advenutureland, Frontierland and Critter Country. Additionally, this railroad differs from other Disney railroads because its track gauge is 30" (762mm) as compared with other Disney railroad track gauges of 36". There is only one stop, probably due to Japanese rail regulations for trains for more than one stop to follow a timetable, and that is located above the Jungle Cruise attraction. Guests pass the Jungle Cruise, the Big Thunder Mountain, an old "mining town" featuring an ex Rio Grande Southern caboose, the Rivers of America, Splash Mountain, and passes through a version of the Primeval World before heading back to the station. It is presented by Takara Tomy.
