It transports 1.5 million passengers each year

The Walter E. Disney and Roger E. Broggie locomotives have serial numbers that are sequential (58444 and 58445). These locomotives were on the shop floor at the same time in 1925 as they were being built for the United Railways of Yucatan and still operate together to this day. Because of this, they are referred to as the "twins"

At one time, Disney's Fort Wilderness also had steam trains

Trains are stored underneath the monorails in same building.
