The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for a LONG time as the construction of the new TRON attraction continues in Magic Kingdom.

Recently, we got some updates on just what’s been going on with the railroad while it has been closed, and now we have some more exciting railroad news!
According to Scott Gustin on Twitter, testing of the Walt Disney World Railroad is set to begin today, December 8th. Gustin notes that this testing is part of the refurbishment of the Railroad overall. Gustin also shares that the train itself won’t reopen to guests until the construction of the new TRON attraction allows.

While it still might be a while before fans can board the railroad again, it is exciting to hear that some testing may take place soon as part of the overall refurbishment.

As we mentioned above, Disney recently shared an update about the railroad and noted that the Number 1 Engine on the train has been completely refurbished while the railroad has been down.
The train looks great!
An official opening date for the railroad has not yet been announced. An opening date also has not been announced for the TRON attraction. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we find!
