To make
sure that his Disneyland Railroad was ready to operate for the
inauguration of Disneyland on July 17, 1955, Walt Disney had his first two
locomotives built in his studio workshops, based on original drawings. The
wonderful “C. K. Holliday” was named after the founder of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, which was the sponsor of the Disneyland
Railroad during its early years. An almost identical copy of the “C.K.
Holliday” was built in 1992 by H.P. Phillips in Wales. Since April 1992,
it has operated in Disneyland Paris. This makes the “C.K. Holliday” the
only locomotive that exists twice on the roster of the Disneyland
Railroad. |
