The Disneyland Railroad (DLRR), originally the Euro Disneyland Railroad (EDRR), is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad at Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Paris Resort in Marne-la-Vallée, France that was inaugurated on the park's opening day, April 12, 1992. Riders use it as transportation to other areas of the park or simply for the experience of the "Grand Circle Tour".

Journey

Main Street Station is seen upon entering Disneyland Park, in Main Street, U.S.A.. From there, guests can start their journey around the park, with a recorded narration commenting on visited landscapes.

Trains first cross a diorama recreation of the Grand Canyon, complete with wild animals and storm effects. As they arrive in Frontierland, travelling behind the Rivers of the Far West, they first stop in Frontierland Depot.

Then trains travel through Adventureland, allowing guests to discover the Temple of Peril and witnessing the inside of the ride Pirates of the Caribbean.

At Fantasyland Station, located in the British part of Fantasyland (which also includes Peter Pan's Flight and Alice's Curious Labyrinth), guests are given a whole view on the land, and then trains even venture through the facade of It's a Small World.

Finally, in Discoveryland, trains stop above Star Tours and Captain EO, in Discoveryland Station. The journey comes to an end while returning to Main Street.

Trains

The Disneyland Railroad operates four themed trains, each pulled by a 4-4-0 steam locomotive built by H. P. Engineering in 1992:
