While the Walt Disney World Railroad isn’t quite ready to welcome guests back at the Magic Kingdom, a big sign of its impending return can be seen in Tomorrowland.
Train tracks have been assembled between Space Mountain and Tomorrowland Light & Power Co., which is undergoing a big refurbishment. The new sections are lying on the recently installed track awaiting installation. It appears to be the right amount of track to complete the last missing segment between the TRON tunnel and the Tomorrowland track.
The railroad hasn’t operated for guests in over three years in order to accommodate the construction of TRON Lightcycle / Run.
In recent months, testing has been underway to prepare for its return, though the biggest step, installation of the tracks running underneath TRON Lightcycle / Run, has still yet to be completed.
As of the writing of this article, no reopening date for the Walt Disney World Railroad has been announced, though it’s possible we could find out as early as this weekend at the 2022 D23 Expo.

Hope they will alien those tracks a little better.
I’m a cast member and have seen cast training for the train being done, constantly hear the whistle and it’s euphoric lol
