Does anyone know how the replica steam powered trains on the Disneyland Railroad work? Electricity heating up the water maybe? They claim they are actually powered by steam but obviously it’s a modified version. Nobody’s shoveling coal on that baby. And it’s a scaled down version of the real thing but seems fairly legit. They do a little announcement about how it’s actually steam powered when you get on
