Did the Railroad open a day early?

[Davin_Felth]

I was just looking at the app, and noticed none of the stations are marked closed. Weren't they schedule to re-open on the 29th?

I saw a photo on another site that looked like there were, indeed, people on the train today. So, maybe yes? I know they're soft opening the stuff along the RoA today.

I heard they were going to be letting the media ride the railroad and the mark twain today

They just opened to the public about an hour ago. Soft open.

When I was there a week ago I kept seeing the train to around with CM's on it. I also saw a post stating soft opening today.

I'm going Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the new train and sailing on the Mark Twain. I wonder how long the journey will take now.

I see it's been answered, but Disneyland did post to FB today that it is indeed running.

Reportedly the ride time will be about the same; the Twain will just move slower. See this article on MousePlanet:

There was a media event today.

My 6yo and I were riding it's a small world around 6pm when we noticed the train running overhead, so afterward we walked over to the ToonTown station and got in line. A minute later, John Lasseter and a bunch of CMs in black suits and people wearing Hawaiian print shirts entered the train through the exit and it took off, at which point we decided just to walk to Splash Mountain in order to make our fast pass window.

Media and VIP got to ride this morning/early afternoon, soft opening around 130-2 but it only lasted a couple hours I was told. Too many trying to take the balloons and flags off the Twain.
