PHOTOS: More Track Laid as Work Progresses on Walt Disney World Railroad at Magic Kingdom

The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for over two years now, as it has been rerouted due to TRON Lightcycle / Run construction. Work on the tracks near the coaster continues to pick up steam, igniting hope that the work might be complete in time for Magic Kingdom’s 50th anniversary celebration in October.

In April, our update centered on the laying of these synthetic railroad ties. Now the area near the Fantasyland station has more railroad tracks being laid as well.
