Disney Builds New Monorail Train From Crash Remains
Friday, October 16, 2009 8:21:53 AM
LAKE BUENA VISTA -- Over three months after a deadly collision, Walt Disney World announced it will soon add a new monorail train to its current fleet.
A Disney representative told News 13 Thursday they have built a new train from parts from the two trains that collided in the July 5 crash that killed monorail pilot Austin Wuennenberg, 21.
The new train is expected to go into service in the next few months, bringing the fleet up to 11 trains.
Disney distinguishes its monorail train by colors. The new train, which will feature a teal stripe, was built from the remains of monorails Pink and Purple. Disney retired those colors out of respect for Wuennenberg and his fellow pilots.
Another train is expected to be added in 2010, bringing the fleet back to a full 12 trains.
