  • Disney parks have been infamous for their numerous amounts of Ghost Reports, from the Space Mountain Single Rider ghost to the Spirit who plays pranks on Cast Members at Disney World's Pirates of the Caribbean. However, very few people know the story of Disney's Haunted Steam Locomotive. Is this a friendly spirit or is it something much darker? Watch to find out!

    So after watching this I remember riding the pirates of the Caribbean attraction and they were freaking out and saying someone touched them and I thought they were joking around but now I’m convinced lol I really enjoy your content btw

  • @JChristiansenLuckythebrony2222

    The fact we "can't confirm" he died on the footplate, is actually confirmation he DIDN'T as even Disney wouldn't be able to keep the press from running a story with the headline "Disneyland train driver dies on shift," if the opportunity arose.

    The ghost could be that of engineer “Brownie”, another old retired ex-railroad worker who came aboard sometime after Harley’s death.

    You know just because there’s a giant space heater with an engine AKA a steam train that does not mean that it’s hot. In the summer it gets really warm but in the winter it’s really cold so cold there’s seat heaters. So I think these engineers are just having fun with each other. Railroaders are a crazy bunch. They are a cool bunch though. As the mater of the fact I am on my way to be one.

      I’ve never heard of steam locomotives having seat heaters, but I do know some steam locomotives in colder locations used to use various forms of insulation in the cab.

    I have a copy of Harley’s death certificate. He died at 1:20 am at Palm Harbor hospital in Garden Grove. He was born in Iowa on Christmas Eve in 1894. He was a WW I veteran. He’s buried at Westminster Memorial Park Mortuary. Cause of death listed as subarachnoid hemorrhage and hypertensive heart disease.

    Howdy! I just discovered your channel, and being a railfan and a fan of Disney, I'm already hooked! I'm looking forward to seeing everything you've got here! This video too, was really interesting I was never aware that the Disneyland Railroad has a ghost story attached to it, but it was really cool to learn about nonetheless!

      The reason it was spitting fire.. it was the human bodies they needed to feed the train to keep it alive.. burning under high combustion.
      The train lived on the souls of kidnapped children "lost in the park"

    "Cold spots... strange things to feel given the nature of operating a steam locomotive"
    So, fun thing about that - due to the relatively efficient design of steam locomotive boilers, the cab often wouldn't get that hot. If it was cold outside, it would often be cold in the cab as well unless you kept the firebox door open. Thing is, you don't want to keep the firebox open like that, since it drastically reduces the efficiency of the boiler.

    “At the heart of every legend there is a grain of truth.” ― Michael Scott
    It is possible that the ghost reports are in fact real, but it's not likely that Harley Ilgen's spirit would be doing anything purely to spook his fellow railroaders. A little prank here and there, sure... but I think he just wants to make sure that those operating his adoptive child (the Fred Gurley, which fun fact is a Baldwin 2-4-4T built in the 1890s) are doing so safely and without putting unnecessary stress on the locomotive.

    @Chris with a K - If you had been an Aussie or Britisher, Canadian or even a New Zealander telling this story, I'd have been inclined to take your word for this story. But you Americans are infamous for your habits of embellishing stories and adding excessive hyperbole that the stories you tell, even if true, *cannot* be taken seriously. America's credibility is *GONE, LONG GONE, NEVER TO BE REGAINED!*

      I shared your original comment with one of my friends in the UK and we had a great laugh over it. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you didn't even watch the entire video since a whole section of it is dedicated to disproving the story and saying how this was a legend, or in other words, a story passed down through word of mouth and can get distorted from the passage of time.

      I see, that’s interesting, I didn’t know that. My main point of this matter is the fact that everyone in every culture will overhype things. Saying that all Americans overhype stories is like saying all Brits drink tea. Sure it’s true in most cases, but not everyone falls under that umbrella. I don’t care if you make fun of or criticize me, but when people, especially those well versed in information like yourself, make generalized claims on a stereotype, it really annoys me
