I just learned about this amazing attraction artifact. I would love to find a map to see where it actually went. Does anyone have anything?

I couldn't find a map there. I scanned the internet and couldn't find one anywhere.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom, the 1978 map has the track route on it. Wish I could have ridden this, would have been a blast!

Cheers!

I read somewhere that the ticket booths at the entrance to Pleasure Island are from The Wilderness Railroad.
Can anyone confirm this?

Parts of the railway are still visible to this day if one does a bit of detective work. For instance, there is part of a bridge that still exists over a creek.

Check out Michael Broggies book "Walt Disney's Railroad Story" There is a entire Chapter on the Ft. Wilderness Railway, lots of information and pics but no map...sorry.

One of the cars from the Wilderness Line now resides within Typhoon Lagoon's parking lot. It's been painted over and draped with a net to help it fit in the with theming.

very interesting, I thought the railroad took people to the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. My first time down was in 1981 so I wasn't sure if they just covered it up real well after they closed it.
