The biggest hurdle for reopening the railroad is staffing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it reopened with only one or two stations. At DLP only Main Street and Frontierland stations are open so it wouldn’t be unprecedented.

That is a non-starter for WDW. Our guests could neither understand nor follow a direction like “Fantasyland station is closed. We are going to stop there but do not get off the train.”

Are they really going to keep the railroad closed until Tron opens? Seems like they could have it opened before Thanksgiving if they really wanted to.

I doubt they can open the RR until construction workers are finished outdoors.

So while it should be able to open before Tron opens, it would be dependant on when that area is no longer an active construction site.

Right, hardscape and landscape done then the choo choo can choo choo.
They are still pouring concrete so they need access for the equipment

Exactly. Once the outside looks finished, I assume they can open the RR.

Whether they do or not, is another question.

Unsure if anyone knows of an internal projection?

On the plus side, landscaping continues to progress. Looks like they placed two additional large trees today between the railroad and the backstage electrical station.

Sometimes I look at these photos and say to myself: "Looks like things are moving along nicely" but then I remember that they built Disneyland in just about a year, and I go back to being miffed.

Not to mention they built the entirety of Magic Kingdom including the Utilidors and the surrounding areas and resorts in less time than it’s taken them to build Tron.
