Monorail and Train Maintenance Shop

The Monorail and Train Maintenance Shop is behind the Magic Kingdom and is the storage for the Walt Disney World Railroad and the Walt Disney World Monorail. Since there were originally only 10 monorails planned, when the Coral and Lime monorails were added, they did not have enough room in the storage and maintenance facilities behind the park. Because of this, two monorails must sit outside during the night. A monorail never stays outside the maintenance bay for more than 2 nights in a row. Also, every monorail is checked three times a day for safety.

The storage center also has its own painting room. It is able to paint a whole monorail in 3 weeks. The room is actually 25 feet off the ground and has a wall lift for painters to move around the monorail.

The trains are parked on the first floor while the monorails are on the second floor. The Monorail spur exit is off the express loop with a cross over between the outer loop and the inner loop there as well. The train spur exit is located past the Magic Kingdom Drive bridge. Trains can only take the exit by backing up.
