If you look closely, there is a little detail in the window too that refers to this lost attraction 🚂 And if you’ve ever been to the Oregon Zoo, they have their own version of the Aerotrain that because operating on the Portland Zoo Railway in 1958, though it is more a scaled-down model of the original. It’s called the Zooliner. 🚆
As for why the speedometers said 120mph when they only went 30mph, Roger Broggie explains, “Each car featured 2 speedometers calibrated to register 4 times faster than the train’s actual speed.” This was likely to match the actual GM Aerotrain that had begun operation only one month after Disneyland opened and was know to reach speeds of 120mph.
Disneyland’s Viewliners were constructed in the Disney Studios machine shop, mostly from Oldsmobile parts. They carried only 1.4M passengers before being decommissioned to make way for the new Monorail (which, ironically, shows up in some form in Sam McKim’s concept art as an elevated Viewliner years before).
