History:

Location:
The train has four stations, Main Street, New Orleans Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. Each is located on the outside of the land and is clearly marked for guests to find. The conductor announces each arrival and departure. You can find the New Orleans Station toward the back of New Orleans Square right next to the Haunted Mansion.

Description:
One of Walt Disney's favorite hobbies, the Train was part of every plan ever made for Disneyland. It offers a quick and scenic preview of the entire park and gives guests a chance to relax for a moment before they arrive at their destination. Along the way you will also have the chance of seeing the Grand Canyon and Primeval Worlds between the Tomorrowland and Main Street stations. This provides a quick glimpse into the world of the Grand Canyon and how it looked fifty million years ago.

Besides a great view the train can also be used as a fairly efficient way to travel between different parts of Disneyland. It is easier to take the train during the parades and shows so you don't have to wade through the masses of people. Be careful not to happen upon a train station right after one of the shows has let out though. A large portion of the crowds feel that the train will provide a quick way to the main entrance, but because there are so many people it will actually take longer to wait for and take the train instead of just walking.
