The Red Car Trolley itself is a piece of history as its design is inspired by real-world counterparts. Disney Imagineers modeled the Park’s Red Car Trolleys after the Pacific Electric Railway trolleys that traversed the Greater Los Angeles area from 1887-1961. These trolleys operated on over 1,000 miles of track and were an iconic piece of California history.

Do not miss your chance to once again ride the Red Car Trolley during your next trip to the Disneyland Resort! Find operating hours during your visit at Disneyland.com or on the Disneyland app, and enjoy your visit!
