Disneyland, Main Street USA Trolley by John Rudy<\/a><\/h3>\n

I’m a well known steam fan, but as a railroad fan, a very close second in my heart is trolleys. I’m a fan of any good trolley, tram or streetcar<\/a>. \u00a0Builder John Rudy brings us this lovely model of the horse drawn trolley from Disneyland’s<\/a>\u00a0famous\u00a0Main Street USA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Main Street, USA is the first “themed land” inside the main entrance inside Disneyland and the many ‘Disneyland’-style parks run by\u00a0The Walt Disney Company<\/a>\u00a0around the world.<\/p>\n

Modeled after classic small town transportation of the turn-of-the-century, the Main Street Trolley slowly trundles toward Sleeping Beauty Castle each morning, bridging the gap between reality and fantasy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The trolley line in Disneyland’s Main Street USA is\u00a0a\u00a03\u00a0ft<\/span>\u00a0(914\u00a0mm<\/span>) gauge\u00a0tramway<\/a>\u00a0featuring\u00a0horse-drawn streetcars<\/a>\u00a0typical of those from the United State around the 1890 to 1910 era. The trolleys are used to transport park attendees up and down main street, and also feature in shows throughout the day at the park.<\/p>\n
