Overview
DisneySea Electric Railway is an attraction and means of transportation between American Waterfront and Port Discovery. The ride vehicle is a red two-car train, reminiscent of historic elevated electric trains.
The majority of the line is double tracked to allow trains to run in both directions, but the stations are single tracked. When a large number of vehicles is in service, it is sometimes necessary for a vehicle to hold out in the double-tracked area when another vehicle is loading and unloading passengers in a station.
When Tokyo Disneyland was constructed, local railway laws were applicable to any railway that connected two points and can be used as a means of transportation, even if the railway was entirely on private land. As a result, the Western River Railroad was designed as a loop with no intermediate stops to avoid this regulation. The law was abolished on April 1, 1987, and as a result, Tokyo DisneySea could add railways useful as transportation within the park without falling under the local railway laws.
