The real reason for the Monorail Silver fire was a side tire that got hung up and dragged from Epcot. The Monorail did catch on fire near the straigtaway on the North South Road just over bridge one. When the train caugt on fire the passengers opened the door. They did this by sticking their arm...

Actually you are both correct. Usually two resort trains come out of shop at 6am and are brought over to the Resort beam. Usually they will bring the first train to the MK have it switch ends. The second train that comes out of shop will be brought onto the express beam and then will go in...

Actually I was talking about the forms that were used create new monorail beams and pylons. The last time they were used was 1979-1980. If Disney were to ever think about expansion they will need to resurrect these building forms. At the site www.monorails.org The monorail society has pictures...

I was told the same thing but, that maybe a rumor. For years there was a map with a proposed monorail that seem to have been extended from the EPCOT teardrop first towards the what the called "Future Development area" now known as the studios. The only items that I know Disney has kept for any...

Actually it was possted by Brannon Boran aka Monorail Green. John Kappeler (aka as Tennis Ball Head) wrote it and gave it to Brannon who then posted that part as a part of a larger posting that included several items... John and Brannon were firends and roomates..... I worked with and knew...

That's true... We were trained on 5 and 7 car parking tram...however we used to operate these even before we went down in 1988..... There was not a bus turnaround and the only way we could handle the amount of guests was to transport them via trams (FYI the 5 car trams were used at Fort...

Your exactly correct. There is a cleaning schedule at Central in addition Monorail Shop may have a special request such as beam work that may need to be completed. But sometimes it is the descretion of Monorail Central, such as how many drivers are available, when a beam will need to shutdown...

In the past, the trains would not even stop at TTC... This did not last long and they went to what we called "load modes" on the resort beam E\(Even the addtion of Grand Flo did not effect this \). Different loading patterns for the train a different times of the day. For example, in the vening...

I am sorry that I really do not think that Mark VI drive training is not that difficult. I have drive trained drivers in a Mark IV and a Mark VI and the Mark VI is much simplier.... When the amber starts to beep slam on the brakes.....If you go too fast the train stops... The radio call button...
