The Disneyland Railroad currently is closed for refurbishment. The train closed after the holidays and work has been underway behind walls. Until today, it wasn’t known when the Disneyland Railroad would be reopening. However, the Disneyland website now has the Disneyland Railroad reopening on March 7, 2025.
The train closed on January 13th for the newest round of refurbishments. Last year, the railroad was closed for multiple months while work was done on the attraction. The Daps Magic team filmed the attraction before it closed at the end of the day on January 12, 2025.
