<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tokyodisneyresort.jp\/en\/tdl\/atrc\/adventure\/western\/index.html\">The Western River Railroad.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This attraction is different in a couple respects from other Disney park railroads in that it only has one stop, has a narrower gauge and does not circumnavigate the park. \u00a0It does take a tour of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tokyodisneyresort.jp\/en\/tdl\/atrc\/adventure\/\">Adventureland<\/a> at Tokyo Disneyland and the ride lasts for about 15 minutes (which strikes me as remarkably long for a tour with only one stop).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sundrycollectibles.net\/disneypostcards\/checklist\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2069\" alt=\"NT0051_0001\" src=\"https:\/\/sundrycollectibles.net\/disneypostcards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/NT0051_0001-300x189.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sundrycollectibles.net\/disneypostcards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/NT0051_0001-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sundrycollectibles.net\/disneypostcards\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/NT0051_0001.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>A couple of things catch my eye when I look at this card though. \u00a0First of all, the card is reminiscent of NT0051, which shows the Santa Fe and Disneyland Railroad at Disneyland. \u00a0The angle of the shot and, of course, style of the train are so similar that one can&#8217;t help but be reminded of this card when you see the Tokyo card.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I found it interesting that there appears to be sponsorship from Tomy on the Japanese train. \u00a0 Sponsorship in the parks is not that unusual. \u00a0After all, today the Disneyland Railroad no longer carries the sponsoring &#8220;Santa Fe&#8221; name that it once did. \u00a0I wonder what a company like Tomy has to pay to get their name on an attraction at a Disney park?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;I will be posting on a few more Tokyo cards in the near future. \u00a0I am also slowly adding the ones I have to the checklist database. \u00a0So, you can check that out if you are interested.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone&#8230;I hope this post finds you all enjoying the Christmas holiday season. \u00a0My family and I went out to get a Christmas tree today and spent the afternoon decorating it. \u00a0This evening I finally cleaned up my embarrassingly cluttered &hellip;
