This railroad engineer is waiting for the all clear so the train can depart Fantasyland Station. The locomotive’s namesake is Roy Oliver Disney. He was the co-founder of the Walt Disney Company along with his younger brother Walt. This ride is not a replica. The engine was manufactured by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1916. It was acquired in Yucatan, Mexico, in 1969 along with three others built in 1925. After refurbishment, they were put in service in 1971. The Magic Kingdom also has a spot for train lovers. The Carolwood Pacific Room is filled with railroad memorabilia and a special exhibit from the Disney family.
