Almost a week ago, Roger is pulling Walter's red cars due to the latter receiving maintenance and the former's yellow cars undergoing modification:

I've found it really weird to see that Lilly and Roger have swapped each other's passenger car consist: Could anyone ask a WDWRR Cast Member about the reason behind all of this?

Here are the two videos of the Walter E. Disney being tested in the evening with some of his red cars' seats being flipped backwards for the shuttle service:

I've found a new video of Roger wearing a new whistle, which sounds pretty similar to Roy's: I believe this new whistle is a transitional style Crosby 5-inch diameter 3-chime.

Trivia: When the first three WDWRR locomotives entered service on October 1, 1971, they were all equipped with a Buckeye 3-inch diameter 3-chime whistle, which was commonly used on industrial switching steam engines, traction engines, little steamboats and tugboats. Despite having somewhat...

I've found a November 1990 cab ride video of the Lilly Belle on YouTube! :) It was probably taken by a former WDWRR cast member:

Hey, everyone, I've looked through a 1993 video, which shows not only the Lilly Belle is pulling the Roy O. Disney's blue cars, but she's also wearing the Roy's deep sounding American 3-chime whistle!

I'm new to the WDWMagic forum and I'm a big fan of the Walt Disney World Railroad in the Magic Kingdom Park.
