A unique collaboration has brought the spirit of Disney magic to the rails of Southern California, merging the legendary Disneyland Resort with one of the most scenic railway routes in the United States. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of "The Happiest Place on Earth," the LOSSAN (Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo) agency and Amtrak® Pacific Surfliner® have unveiled a train with a breathtaking exterior. Starting June 25, 2025, passengers along the coast can witness the journey of a train wrapped in visuals that celebrate seven decades of Disney's legacy, making every trip to Anaheim a prelude to a magical adventure.

This specially designed train is not just a means of transport, but a moving work of art. On a blue background decorated with multicolored confetti and ribbons, passengers are greeted by beloved characters – Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, all dressed in their festive 70th-anniversary costumes. The design is complemented by elegant silhouettes of Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Pixar Pal-A-Round wheel, while the centerpiece of the composition is the official celebration logo. This initiative not only promotes summer travel to Disneyland but also offers unique discounts on tickets and transportation, allowing families to start their fun the moment they step onto the train.

Magic That Begins on the Rails

The partnership between the railway carrier and the world-famous theme park was enthusiastically welcomed by leaders from both sides. Fred Jung, chair of the LOSSAN agency and mayor of the City of Fullerton, expressed his satisfaction with participating in the celebration. "We are thrilled to be part of the Disneyland Resort's 70th anniversary celebration. Taking the Pacific Surfliner to one of the most iconic and beloved destinations in the world makes the magical memories begin right at the start of the journey," emphasized Jung. His words reflect the core idea of this collaboration – to transform a routine journey into an unforgettable experience.

Similar enthusiasm is shared by Lynn Clark, Vice President of Sales and Services at Disneyland Resort. "With the launch of our 70th anniversary celebration, we are excited to collaborate on this initiative and to see the brand-new, themed Amtrak Pacific Surfliner traveling along the Southern California coast," stated Clark. "As we honor the legacy of the Disneyland Resort, we are delighted to join the LOSSAN agency to co-create magical and memorable experiences for our guests, where the celebration can begin even before they arrive." This collaboration represents a perfect blend of convenience and fun, encouraging visitors to leave their cars at home and choose a more relaxed and environmentally friendly way to arrive.

A Journey with a View: More Than Just Transportation

The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner offers much more than just transportation from point A to point B. It is a unique experience that allows passengers to avoid the notorious Southern California traffic jams and instead enjoy spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The 565-kilometer (351-mile) railway route extends through San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties, connecting a total of 29 stations. As the busiest state-supported intercity passenger rail line in the U.S., the Pacific Surfliner is a crucial part of the regional transportation network.

The interior of the train is designed for maximum comfort. Passengers can relax in spacious, reclining seats with large panoramic windows that offer unobstructed views of the landscape. Each seat is equipped with power outlets, and free Wi-Fi is available, ideal for planning the details of a visit or sharing photos from the trip. For those who get hungry or thirsty, there is a market-style Café Car offering freshly prepared food, snacks, and various beverages, including local craft beers and California wines. For added comfort, it is possible to reserve a seat in Business Class, which guarantees a seat, offers more space, complimentary snacks and drinks, and access to an exclusive lounge at Union Station in Los Angeles.
