/* Attraction Plot */
As the train pulls out of Fantasyland and into Tomorrowland, the narrator that some people think that traveling by train is a little too old fashioned. As the train rolls past the Speedway, he says that any guest can travel the [[futuristic highway]], or choose another mode of transportation so as the [[PeopleMover]], [[Space Mountain]] or [[Astro Orbiter]]. On their right, guests can see into Tomorrowland. As the train continues forward, the narrator informers riders that Main Street was inspired by the small towns of Walt's childhood. He also says that stepping onto Main Street is like stepping back in time. At this point that train reaches the Main Street Station, and the narration starts all over again.
 
==The Trains==
 
There are four operation trains on the Walt Disney World Railroad. The four locomotives for the trains were built between 1916 and 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia. The trains consist of a steam locomotive, tender, and five passenger cars. Each train has a capacity of approximately 365 passengers and 2 wheelchairs. The tender has a capacity for 1,837 gallons of water and 664 gallons of fuel oil. The tender needs to be topped off with water every three or four trips around the park. Due to the fact that the water tower used to top off the tenders is located at the Fantasyland station, the trains still need to stop there, despite the fact that the area is under construction.
